|  M101-5 Successful Farming Help Needed 
			
			I have the Eddie Burns card below. To me, it looks like it is almost certainly rebacked. I don't think I have had an M101-5 before and definitely have not had a Successful Farming card. My question: Is this a skinned Burns glued to a skinned back? Is it a skinned Burns glued to a possibly complete M101-5? The card is pretty thick - the last image is this card compared to a T206. I suppose I am wondering whether a soak might reveal a complete M101-5 Successful Farming under the skinned Burns addition to the top.  Thanks PXL_20230911_034136894.jpg .

			There shouldn't be two colored layers like that.

			Well, the first sign of something being off is that Eddie Burns is supposed to be card #17 in m101-5, and yours is #18.  Because Successful Farming cards are associated with m101-5 only, your card seems dubious.

			And, Eddie Burns is listed as being card #18 for the M101-4 sets.

			Also, a telltale sign is that the card picture (background) looks to be the same color as the borders on yours. Those borders should be a distinctively different shade than the pic itself. Note the whiter borders on this rare Salesmans sample....

			Leon, how are you able to determine that your SF card is a rare salesman's sample?
