Default T206 authenticity help please (Update: Starr Drum Graded)
While I own several T206 cards I am far from an expert on these cards. So I am seeking out some help from those of you here with more knowledge than I have.

I had a chance to pick up a group of 3 cards today at a price that I can live with if I made a mistake. My gut says they are good but I would like to have more than my gut feeling to go with. Below are the scans of the cards, would love to hear opinions on them.

If I screwed up and I missed something obvious let me know!

Thanks,
Scott

Let the onslaught of PMs begin. Hope you're wearing shark repellent.

They definitely appear to be genuine.
And very valuable, in the case of that Drum.

Thanks for the quick input guys. Once I got home I compared it to my other t206 cards under magnification and it looked good. But like I said though, by no means am I an expert on t206 and it's not like I had another drum back to compare it too.

I was/still am in shock to find such a rare back "in the wild' so to speak. I figured I missed some obvious clue that it was a fake and you folks would educate me.

Thanks again,
Scott

Scott,

Congrats on a nice find. Did you find them in the field? That would be refreshing.

Robert

The Starr with the Drum back could be worth up to $900 to the right buyer . The
Lundgren and the Gibson EPDG maybe $20 each .
