Default 1949 Leaf BABE RUTH how do you spot a fake?

I recently had an opportunity to acquire a large lot. He had several vintage cards along with this Ruth. Of course my immediate thought it was a sure fake. The corners were mint sharp no surface wear whatsoever. I know it is 100% fake, but I'm not sure how to spot one other than it is too good for this era and it looks like the printer ran out of ink when it was copied! Could anyone give me some tips? Of course I also knew it was a fake as he offered to sell this for 15,000! I should have walked away at that point! I'm sure the other stuff was fake as well. Needless to say, I didn't spend a time on that collection.
