James,

I also have doubts that is is real.

Although the printing and image are correct the stock looks funny (to go along with the fact that you say it feels funny).

There seems to be a bunch of "copies" on, what I call: "Cereal Box Cardboard" stock. Slightly heavier than basic vintage card stock, that also gives a slightly odd color (noticeable on Attell's image itself).

Example, W511 strips:



Top is real (tough type, thus condition), basic paper thin stock.
Bottom is fake (W511 come with different numbering, not reason for fake). While the image is good, it is on the cereal box stock, and an odd color (I bought it knowing it was fake for comparison).

So, imo, yours probably a copy. However, if you'd like, send it in to be graded. If it is real, for the $10 fee, you'll have a $100-150 card.

Yes, James and I know there is a boxing section to net54, we also know it is rarely used. Another reason I think the new board will be better, with more threads available on opening page.

Oh, and ego time ..... e77 a great set:
