Default 1959 Fleer #68 - How to tell if it's counterfeit?

I just recently bought this "Ted Signs" card (big expenditure) and I am wondering about its authenticity. Although it looks absolutely legitimate to me, information on-line indicates that if the front shows a dot matrix sorta thing, it was a 1970's reprint. Is that true? In quickly using a magnifying lens, it seems that could be the case here. I definitely need to examine it more closely. Does anyone have a comparison close-up picture showing what a legitimate one looks like next to a fake one? I don't want to be screwed here if it is a mislabeled reprint, and the clock is running since the return period will expire pretty soon.

SGC obviously had no problem with it, but does anyone have any other insight?? I would appreciate any help.

The back of the card has the proper gray (not white) cardboard...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
