Default I need some help with a T-206 Card (or "Real or Reprint")"
Posted By: Ben

The immediate giveaway is the fact that the printing on the back is the wrong colour. Authentic AB backs have green printing. Also, the lettering in the front caption (lajoie, cleveland) is not the right font - compare it to your other t206s and you'll notice that this lettering is solid black and block-ish......the real t206s have a brown-ish print and the font is noticably different. Also, the card looks artificially aged, on both front & back.

Sorry for the bad news....take it as an inexpensive lesson learned, and you'll know better for next time.
