Need Help from the Experts: 1928 Ruth Fro-Joy Authenticity
Good Afternoon!
I've been on the baseballcards_vintage subreddit for a while and posted a question to the group yesterday. Multiple users suggested reaching out to the wealth of knowledge that is contained within this net54 forum. Thus, here I am, and thanks in advance for any possible answers you can provide! I took a gamble this past weekend on an uncut sheet of 1928 Fro-Joy Babe Ruth cards. I am well aware that these are frequently counterfeited, so I knew it was dicey when I placed my bourbon-fueled bid to begin with. Honestly, I didn't expect to win it, so I'm now trying to figure out if these are likely authentic or not, which would determine whether or not I would send them to BVG for actual authentication. Following is a OneDrive folder with photos (https://1drv.ms/f/c/d4374cd14bc74d50...9dw4w?e=mTDUWX) and I hope someone can tell me whether or not they believe these to be authentic or definitely reproductions. Again, I appreciate any guidance you can provide on these and simply appreciate your time!

Not an expert on this set by any means but it looks artificially aged to me. Compare to e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276763853189?
For reference, here is the OP's post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseballcar...am_i_an_idiot/

When comparing it to an original or any that are graded by beckett, there is a very clear loss of detail in the images.
Reprint unfortunately. Sent from my SM-S721U1 using Tapatalk

Truly appreciate the quick replies everyone! Based on the one comment I received yesterday about the text boxes not meeting in the corners on the back of the cards, I was already pretty sure these were the answers I was going to receive. I appreciate ya'll taking the time to review and confirm for me!
