Babe ruth Japanese post card

[EvilKing00]

yea, i only payed a few bucks for it on ebay. The seller had an over 1000 feedback, but the scan is slichtly out of focus. The front is pretty beat up, looks old.

I just havent seen any with the black burder with out the "reprint" labled on the back.

Are you sure the reprint label on the back isn't obscured somehow..a blurry scan and intentional paper loss perhaps?

The kanji on the side of the card just looks like blue blotches. On authentic cards, you should be able to make out the individual characters. Not looking good as others have said.

like i said the scan isnt good, but i can make out the blue japanese letters, and the back of card is fine, dirty but fine.

I've owned one of those and do not believe anything about the one pictured is authentic. In fact, it's a poor reproduction at best IMO.

thanks guys, i picked it up for a few bucks, didnt have any high expectations just wanted to get an idea cause i had never owned this card or even seen it before this.

Evilking- I hope your user id isn't any prediction of the direction you go in the hobby, vis a vis all of the reprints you seem to be obtaining? For your reference here is a good postcard. Notice the crispness. This kind of crisp printing pertains to a lot of good cards vs fakes in all areas of the hobby. Also note the nice looking, clean borders.
