We need more information and/or (and this is preferred) a picture of the front and back of the card in question.

Otherwise, I would say if Ted's head isn't attached to the card, it's a fake.

Can you verify the original card dimensions of 2 5/8" by 3 3/4" or is it 2.5" by 3.5"?

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that someone named Frank Wilson Williams is looking for advice on a Wilson Franks Williams?



No disrespect intended. I just thought it was kinda neat.

Would a fake have a miscut reverse?

I agree!
One way to find out its authenticity is to submit it to a major grading co like PSA, SGC or Beckett. If it comes back slabbed, you can rest easy.
It will also help you whenever you decide to re-sell it, since the buyer won't have the same questions that you have.
This card will display great w/ SGC's black gasket.
