See all those little brown lines that make the card look old. I have never seen those on a real card. Any time I see those I run away.

+1 There are lots of fakes on eBay with those lines on the back and sometimes the front.

The printing on the back of the T206 Matty is a little bit blurry, it should be sharper. Some of the other cards also have creases where the paper showing in the crease is lighter than it probably should be.

It’s a good fake. The color of the blue is wrong — too brightly hued. You’ve got to see the dot matrix pattern in the blue and Matty’s face before buying that card raw.

This article I wrote last year might help you get a bit more comfortable with raw T206s:
