Before I saw that, and saw the back scan of the card from the OP, I thought maybe it was some sort of vending box version vs. wax...the back looked really legit.
I can absolutely see those reprints getting mixed in with larger lots or sets and never getting noticed until way too late, even by knowledgable collectors or auction houses not checking every card in a set, etc.

It is very nicely done. The rear looks really great.
As I said earlier, the seller had listed a few oddball things and had this card. He wanted $10 shipped and fully admitted that he felt that it wasn’t authentic. I didn’t do a comparison match but for $10, I felt it was worth the risk to see what it actually was. You never know what you might stumble on, like you said….vending vs. wax, maybe a salesman sample, etc.
I still think it was worth $10. Maybe I’ll pay $80 and have Rose sign it and just keep it for my collection.
