Thanks Steve:
The point I was trying to make was that the absence of pixels would not be enough to say that the card was produced in the 1880's. That there are a number of ways to produce a card like this using less expensive printing technology than 1887 period lithography with stone or metal plates.
I used the 1948 leaf and Ripkin rookie examples to show that even common fakes dont have pixels.
As I stated earlier similar fakes I have come across did not show pixels under a 15x loop.
