I hope you’re a man of your word cause I’m about to make you eat yours. I received the card today and inspected myself. Like I already knew, it’s 100000000000% real. I will be sending to SGC soon. But don’t worry, you weren’t the only knucklehead who got it wrong that thought they needed to throw their two cents in about it being a Dover reprint. I can’t believe so many people rely on TPGs to tell them their cards are genuine.

I hope it is real, although everyone else here said it was not. He offered it to me at $70 delivered, but again, my gut told me it was fake( esp based on the seller’s several images he sent me). I’m still glad I passed on it and I guess we will see how it turns out.
Again, I really appreciated everyone’s input and didn’t think this was going to become a competition of sorts. Here we go…..

You can even see the “fake” caramel stains on the back…lmao

It's amazing how different the colors (red background, the borders, the uniform, and his face), the font (both the "BALL PLAYERS" at top and the name/team at bottom), the crease, and detail appear from the original ebay photo vs Roberto's scan. Night & day.

Yeah wow those scans night and day different. I think it's legit now based on new scan. Tough high number 1914's even in AUTH holders can go for hundreds, but since this is a 15 and trimmed up pretty good, I don't put much value on this example. <$100

Rob, I think you may have saved me $100. The 2 scans are like chalk and cheese. Look, too, at the difference in Fred's uniform striping between the 2 images. I never would have made the bet on the basis of the 2nd scan. John

Looking over this thread, you yourself have been the worst offender in that regard.

And all about differences of opinion regarding whether an incomplete (and badly creased) card is fake or not? I'll go for the Cracker Jack myself and leave such cards to others.

I’m just giving what I get. There’s a lot of keyboard warriors on this forum who hurl insults and are just blatantly rude. So If you can’t beat em, join em.
