I had some items from their original 1989 Guersey Archive action. Proofs, art, etc for 1960s-70s baseball and football cards. Nothing of great value, but I hought they were neat. I've always liked that sort of stuff The oddest one was a mylar (transparent plastic) progression proof for a 1975 card. It had different sheets, one for one color and when you put them one on top of the other you got the whole card. Back in the 1989, they rubber stamped Topps archive on the back of the items.
I agree that yours looks like the pen and ink art for the back of a card. 'Original art' should refer to something hand drawn and thats what the backs of cards looked like, with the cartoon. I had a couple of those for football cards from the Guernsey auction.
