Default Help verifying card's authenticity

Hello Everyone,

I have owned this Fred Merkle card for a long time. It is the only E95 Philadelphia Caramel that I have ever owned. It looks and feels real to me, but I am not sure of its authenticity. It looks darker than other examples that I have seen. Maybe someone coated it with shellack sometime in its history. The print on the back looks blue in the scan, but black in person.

It has come time for me to sell some of my collection. Obviously, if it is a fake, I don't want to pass it on to someone else.

Any opinions on its authenticity would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Joe
