I'm not sure it's real.
1) Oversaturated red.
2) Could be a photocopy; back doesn't look like natural fibers/texture.
3) For the age and damage to edges and corners, the surface is nearly flawless.

I’m not seeing any obvious red flags like artificial aging and wear. The color looks a little off, but that very well may be the photo quality. You’re gonna have to see this one in person.

Thanks a lot for all the input. I was asking on behave of a friend.I just was talking with him
and he made the decision to buy the card.He was convinced it is real.He will be at the front door
of a grading service on Tuesday to have it graded/authenticated.I hope it works out for him.It was
really very cheap and that was the biggest red flag for him.Thanks, Again.

I wasn’t going to chime in, but others stated the color was off… I thought the red was off too.

I certainly will. I am a bit excited as well.Mostly because I may be one of the potential buyers of the card if it is real.Thanks again for all of you that offered an opinion.

The corners on the back look worn artificially and the registration is not as clear imo. Card stock looks incorrect for period. I would stay away especially if they don’t know what they are doing.
