Dumb question, but I have to ask....(1933 Goudey Ruth)

I looked at the bleedthrough too from the picture. I see it on the bottom but not on the rest of the card. I don't have the card in hand yet. I hope to tomorrow.

Actually that it DOES seem to have bleed through (or wet sheet transfer) seems like the best thing in its favor. It looks (to me) like there's a dim red bar and visible boarders on the back. But really the biggest tell, to me, is that it's a mint condition 33 Goudey Ruth. I mean, come on.

And the centering certainly is suspicious.

Not a Goudey expert, but it looks real to me. It also looks trimmed (wavy right border with a bulge at the hands, bottom and top don't look quite straight). It also looks like the top right edge (from the back) has a little damage. Tough to tell from these pics though.

Card stock looks thin and fake. sorry........

The back is really close, but the front just looks off and the borders look big. Without a better scan I find it questionable.

I agree with Leon:

The centering and corners look far too perfect.
