3) And even if they did happen to do this for one player, why select Mattingly in 1984?
He'd exhausted rookie eligibility with only .280 / 4 / 33 in 300 at bats.
4) Is there any reason Nestle would have specifically requested a black and white sheet of Mattingly's back in 1984 when all their other cards (a complete set of nearly 800 cards, mind you) came in sheet form?
Therefore, QED: Fake.

Yep, that's what I thought. I was trying to keep an open mind, though. Just not so open that my brain fell out.
