Well then that's the question the OP should have asked instead of using a teaser title.

At a glance, first thoughts are.. no one would go through the trouble of faking this and it looks good enough. But then, yeah, the crackle, and the sort of artificial looking abrasions make me think it's no good. Damn. We gotta be careful out there. On the plus side though, PSA is probably about 50/50 on grading it as authentic. haha

The crackle is enough for this to be a terrible card, but this is an important point, about how modern paper behaves vs. 1910-era paper.

Look at the Burdick Collection example of this card and you'll see there are very similar flaws -- an abrasion at top right, a big chip of paper loss at bottom right -- but actual period paper/card stock behaves very differently.
