Recent T206 purchase...opinons welcome.

1966CUDA

Thanks!

That looks way too clean and sharp to be real.

Beautiful card if real. Hard to tell from scan. Did the antique store have more? What was price?

It could be the scan/photo but I don't think the text color on the front of the card looks right.

They had 2 more...one with some corner wear and another in about the same condition as this one as far as edges and corners but a tiny spec of paper loss on front.

I've never seen one that clean and razor sharp. Hmmmm

Looks like it may be a real T206, but it also looks to be trimmed (possibly top or bottom edge). If you only ventured somewhere around $100, it might be chalked up to a learning experience.

Graded example on the left, your card on the right.

Name and team in blue, absolute fake/reprint

I agree with it not being real after seeing both pictures side by side.

I don't know enough about this set to give an opinion, but I hope it works out for you either way.

I've been wanting to buy a low graded T206 Piedmont for years but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. Love these cards! However this turns out, you have great taste!
