Anything's possible these days,but based upon who sent me the scan of one originally and the REA listing, I can't see how it's fake. Topps used subway and bus ads in NYC in this era as part of their marketing campaigns and similar ads for other products are known.
It depicts a pack, just a very clunky one. I agree there were no penny pack high number (blue and red) wrappers so it's really just artistic license I guess. I wonder if the penny packs for the highs were just the regular red and green ones?
