My guess is that is good. The facts that it is at a slight angle and rough cut at the bottom, makes it seem authentic.

Yep. "Midge" was a pioneer as the first female in a baseball front office. She was the first person to create season tickets too! Mr. Wrigley had a lot of faith in her and reportedly her opinion on free agents was highly valued. She lived in my town, Huntley, and is buried here. The Cubs created a park for her a few years back. The photo I picked up is from a 1931 Cubs Picture Pack.

The family member I knew also lived on the family farm in Huntley. I asked him to write his thoughts and memories down about a woman he showed a great deal of fondness for but he has yet to do it. I need to keep bugging him because he would always tell some great stories about her.

My gut reaction is that it's real.

Thanks for the input Dano and Forgerelli. Since I'm not an expert on vintage cards I had my doubts because it looks pretty good.
I might have to try and get it graded one day... just stinks that I'm so far away so it costs me tons for S&H.... but I'll do it one day.
Thanks again guys.

Its been awhile since I have contributed to this thread so I thought I would add a few cards I picked up in the last month or so.

 

[dano7]

Great looking cards....all appear to be in great shape!!!

 

[mchenrycards]

I had a chance to pick this up for under fifty bucks and jumped all over it. Its already authenticated by SGC and PSA and would love to get it into a slab for safe keeping.

Great addition on the Koufax!!!!!!
