t206 speaker...fake?

poor scans (maybe intentional), but it looks off to me. usually my first hunch is very good even with google earth quality scans...but i keep going back and forth on this one. also seller feedback and the description is crap.

nice card for the price is if it's real

Very bizarre descriptions, the seller says it is graded a PSA 3 with "mint quality" even though it is not graded at all. It doesn't look real to me either, but I am far from an expert on that one.

yup looks fake...but who really cares? neither of u guys collect t206 speakers?!?! WTF?!?!?!

i collect like 4 t206s...speaker, lajoie bat, johnson pitching, and cobb red. the lajoie and johnson are all time favorites.

the seller is definitely hiding something by being intentionally shady and weird.

Not that anyone asked, but I think the Waddell pitching is one of the most beautiful prewar cards ever made. It took me a while to find a nice one, and when they do turn up they aren't cheap.

I am just learning, but I wasn't born last night.

He says it is "Mint Quality", "One of A Kind", "Authenticated by PSA", "graded a PSA 3".

If it is a PSA 3 it is not Mint Quality.
It is not one of kind, I know because I have one.
If it was authenticated and graded by PSA, why is not in a PSA holder?

I agree. It is fake.
