1933 Goudey Hornsby Authentic or Reprint?

Counselor

Local dealer seems to think this is a reprint, but I thought it could be real, thoughts?

I know seems too good to be true, so it probably is, but the card looks, feels and even smells authentic, front is bleeding through to the back.

The inking on the reverse is actually the result of "wet transfer" rather than bleed-through.

The ink on the back of those goudey's is pretty common. I like it looks okay.

Did you buy it? If you did, do you mind telling us how much?

Counselor

No I didn't buy it, he let me bring it home to scan so I could post here

I have lots of 33 goudeys. From the scan, it looks authentic.

I would have said no way if it wasn't for the wet transfer on the back.

I am still going to be a Debbie Downer and say if authentic it has most likely been altered.

Hopefully I am wrong.

Looks good, I compared it to my PSA 6 and see no discrepancies.

Looks good to me to. I would say go for it.

Counselor

I have a PSA 3 of same card and compared the two using loupe and they look the same.

Can someone tell me what I can look for with loupe to tell if reprint ?

Thanks

looks good

most R319 reprints will have the borders cropped when they designed them making the edge of the image completely straight even where the different colors meet ie the red strip on left and right border lines up w/color above it. authentic cards will have the dif colors extend a bit into the border.. authentic R319 cards will also be much thicker than any reprint, compare it to a common card.. look at the way it was printed and the surface (lack of) gloss.
this card was prob lost over time, thus the nice clean condition
