Any 1934 Goudey experts?

Right now I only have this phone pic to go on, but to me I question the authenticity after comparing nothing but the color of the background to graded ones on eBay and reprint versions. Card belongs to a friend, have requested pic of back. Any and all thoughts welcome.

Need the back pic to tell for sure, but I don't like the colors on the front. It could just be sun faded, the centering and corner/edge wear look natural.

Definitely fake. See the back of this one: Genuine There's far too much whitespace at the bottom of this one, the wrong green ink is used, typeface is not as crisp as an original, and cardstock doesn't match.
