How can you tell with such certainty?

T206 s had all kinds of printing issues that caused such things. How I can tell is thirty years of seeing genuine T206's. Is woukd be easier to explain if you posted a fake one.

Haha well I appreciate the input. I wasn't trying to disprove your judgement or anything, but I was trying to find some clues to figuring out its authenticity. I only buy cards from the 50s and 60, so this is the first time I have ventured into the new world of tobacco cards. Thanks you though for your reply.

If you need 1 more opinion, I fully agree all 3 are just fine! What kind of condition were the 50's sets in?

Colby,

No disrespect intended, but WHY would you post pictures, ask authenticity, then question someone when they tell you it's real??

It seems to me the OP is just trying to educate themselves. So they want to know what tell-tell signs that would indicate these to be real or conversely how would they be able to tell if a card is a fake.

We've provided such information many times on this forum. If I had the inclination, I'd do some searches and provide a link;however....

...can't the OP do that?

I just spoke with Colby on the phone. He is just a bit overwhelmed with our s/w but is a super nice guy. He really is. He collects mostly 50s stuff and got these from a house that was almost like a barn. He just told me the people had a cow in their living room. Now that's hard to beat!!

[GoldenAge50s]

Was the cow real?

[Sean]

Yeah, I wish he would post a picture of the cow in the living room.

I would like to see pictures.
