Looks like somebody paid almost $21 for it a few weeks ago

Very interesting. I'd love to see the card in person. The stamp looks good to me. The cracking on the paper is very suspicious. I'd be interested in Rhett's opinion.
If it's real, it's a tough card, only a handful known, probably the second-most important card in the set next to Ruth. Edited to add: the known fakes are DEFINITELY discernible from the stamp. The ink color is the same, but the typefaces are entirely different. Picture below. -Al Last edited by Al C.risafulli; 12-10-2017 at 02:00 PM.

There's a lot of e121 and other fakes that have that same cracking of the paper. If you see that same kind of cracking it's a fake from what I've seen.
These fakes are always a bit more blurry/grainy too.

Well, the one I showed had sold in October for under $21 about two weeks after it had been "sold' by the same seller on ebay for $48. Here's one that sold for $7.99, so yes, they have been faked, and yes, the one shown to Pete is fake:
