Default Looks Legit, Except...

The coloring sure looks like a MB: orangey lettering (not true red), more contrast in the burlap texture, deeper black ink, the shirt is more cream colored, and more contrast overall. I'm not sure about the back color. But, all MB Ryans have a white line along the left side (near METS) and this one clearly doesn't have it. That's a huge red flag since it'd be impossible for that to be on some MBs and not others.

My *guess* is that it might be a regular Topps card with inks that ran in just the right densities to look like an MB.
