He's got racoon eyes too. I think that is a real card but with heavy fading.

Faded authentic card, probably from the sun.

Yeah, it's sort of a rule of thumb:
99% of the time the fading on an otherwise normal-looking card was caused in some way by the sun.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Faded. Legit print variations do not look like that.

I don't think these are the result of sun fading .

Clearly sun fading on this Palmer card. The different card stock only appears in the 6th series...a brighter, smoother finished card stock was used in not only this series, but with the FB set that year also.
