Poll: Is this T206 Elberfeld Washington Real or Fake?

[Bocabirdman]

I love how 15 folks took the time to vote "I Don't Care"

The print in the eyes tells me its probably fake

I voted "Don't care" for the following reasons: I have met Pete (we live near one another), so I was interested in what other Board members thought of his card. However, I don't collect and have little interest in T206s (except for collecting WaJos with the different ad backs), hence I don't feel competent enough to have a meaningful opinion as to whether this card is "Fake" or "Real." I would have voted "Don't know" if this had been one of the choices. But, I had to cast a vote in order to see the results of the poll.

Pete, I truly hope your card is real, and I look forward to seeing you at our forthcoming DC area Net54 get-together.

Would you mind taking a couple of photos while standing on your head and gargling peanut butter? That would help a lot!

Thank you,

It looks like someone spread shellac on the front.

Another tell for me is the size of the A in Washington. It is smaller on the ones in the holders, or so it seems. Edited to add, maybe it's the font on all of the letters which look fake? Too "blocky" or something...
