But the front just looks off. Many times that is a bad sign.

The missing factory designation looks like it came away when this card was soaked off of a scrap book, which the frayed edges and corners suggest happened.

But what I can’t explain is the blue shadowing on the bottom front, which disappears and shows up on the reverse on the wrong side. That’s really weird.

Either way I’d prefer a better picture or scan, but I would wait to have the card in hand before crying fraud.

Just my two cents...
