John,

I wish the scan was crisp. It makes things tougher when the image is blurry.

One thing stood out to me. The pictures of Jackie seem to have been printed with a different process than the Dodgers logo and text box. Because of the poor scan, I can't definitively say that this is half-tone printing and solid ink...which would be an indicator of the genuine article...but I am leaning this way.

As for the color differences, various scanners (and settings) can cause this...and so can computer monitors. It looked fine on my screen, and I have purchased about a hundred 1955 Topps cards over the past few years.

The seller's feedback and items recently sold are also encouraging.

I am thinking this card is genuine, although it may have flaws not noticeable in the scan provided. You may want to ask the seller to send you a larger scan.

Best regards,

Eric
