Thoughts on this 1962 Topps blank back Ruth
 

Any thoughts on this blank back ruth? The card stock seems a bit thicker and the image seems a bit smaller. Was there ever a display of this card? Hoping to sell, but would like confirmation that it's real first.

Thanks for any and all input.

The card on the left is a green tint variation and the card(?) on the right has the regular front. From the pic I don't have an opinion on real or not but the card stock looks different.

The blank backed card appears to be hand-cut (from a sheet?), perhaps that is the reason for the size variance.

Not sure if I'm just reiterating what others have said, but it's gotta be some sort of reprint, for lack of a better word, because on original 1962 cards the white box containing the picture is the same size on both the regular and 'green tint' versions.

I'm leaning towards a reprint. Not sure of any other reason there would be a size difference. Cardboard stock looks a little less quality than 62 Topps with many more tiny darker specs.

Possible salesman's sample sheet?

The 62 Salesman Sample 3 card panel I have has a regular card back on one card and adverting on other two
