Real T-206 Honus Wagner or not?

Hi. I came across this card, and I am wondering if you think that this is a real T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card or not. I do not believe that it could be, but who knows for sure?

Here are two images of it. The owner says that he does not know if it's authentic or not.

Thanks.

Dustin

The corners are artificially aged.

That is what I thought, but just wanted to be sure. Can you tell me anything else about the card?

Because if you sell this at a high end sports auction house you could get some good money for this one.

There's almost 0 chance that this is authentic.

A lot of these sellers get high-quality reprints of high end cards and artificially age them. They then play stupid and say they do not know whether they're authentic and inspire hope in some uninformed buyers.
