Default Real or Fake - Willard Cobb

I have a friend who owns a small shop, mostly newish stuff...he had a walk-in and bought this last week. I know nothing about the issue...stock was not real coarse, the type and borders were a little blurry...but for all I know that's the way it is supposed to be. Thoughts?

The text seems bolder than normal. Reckon the color is due to your cell phone pic?

How does it look under a blacklight?

Doesn't look good to me based on the image. Sometimes it's tough to tell from a cell phone picture. The printing should not be blurry at all.

Here are some real ones...

I did not have a loop, but my gut feeling wasn't positive. Just the "fuzziness" made me feel like it was an old copy. Smelled smoky...in a long-time smoker's home.
