Another thing, if the black was truly under the red, why does the black show through it? That wouldn't happen so easily to a red so bold and thick. Plus, the "47" exhibits the typical 'bleeding' of magic marker writing on non-glossy cardboard.

Yeah, I think you’re right, it’s just a magic marker number someone applied later on. I also still believe it is a well cut Salesman Sample card, I can’t think of any other explanation for a fourth column Maris front to have a tenth column Wynn back.
