I'd have to defer to what the seller stated in the description, but wow what an amazing fake.

I actually can't tell for sure but was going by the sellers own admission too. I am not sure I have seen too many sellers say something is believed to be "not real" when it is. Maybe the bidders know more than the seller and this could be a diamond in the rough? Personally, I have enough things going on to chance it. I don't need any more drama right now.

An unscrupulous dealer can take something like this to a mall show and sell it to a sucker for thousands of dollars. That is probably who is bidding on it. Not unlike a fake Ruth ball with a bad LOA. It's a very marketable item.

If i thought it was a reprint, I wouldn't sell it for $330 (current bid as of writing). I don't care what someone is willing to pay, I don't think you can ethically sell a reprint Goudey Ruth for $330.

The bleed through to the back is a helluva touch.

Would that be bleed through or a WST? If it's supposed to be bleed through then the centering doesn't match the front.

Default Missed opportunity

The first poll choice should be "real and spectacular" instead of "real and good."

Sellers other auctions all have exactly the same description and all are graded Mint 9 by AGS.

They are a 68 Topps Ryan rookie, a 67 Topps Mantle and a 68 Topps Mantle.

Does this change anyone's mind? All good or all bad

The borders on the front (slightly wide on the left) do NOT match up with the WST borders on the back. On '33 Goudeys, these always seem to match up perfectly with the front.

...meaning, I think this card is made from photocopies of the front and back of a real card (with WST), and the forger didn't take the time to line up the back correctly.

FAKE

I voted "I can't tell" but after reading what you guys said about the bleed through not matching up with the back , and looking at that, I can clearly see what you mean.

Sincerely, Clayton
