Does the black lettering look off on this T206? I am starting to put together a few oversized border T206s and this one popped up. But I am not so sure about that lettering?

The paper stock looks off (too thin?). Here is another one of his listings:

99.99999% positive it's not real. I'd have to see it in hand though.

Now that I was able to enlarge it, 101% reprint. A pretty good one though! The BLACK letter in CARRIGAN, and BOSTON are the give-away.

In my opinion, the shine from the high gloss showing at the top, uneven cut and print quality is making me think that's a 3 dollar bill.

...and that's what I get when I take an office call and don't refresh before answering. A very late reply, lol.

He had more difficulty obscuring the Dover reprint erasure on his other listing (Arellanes), because he didn't provide a back scan in the listing.

There is no Factory data on the Piedmont back provided for Carrigan. The Black is too Black. Bogus.......................
