Sorry to say but not sure it is it is graded, someone put something in plastic and slapped a Garfield Logo and called it graded. Messed up indeed.

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

The reel guidelines don't make any sense being in the middle of the back of the full-bleed picture. Definitely a counterfeit/fantasy piece.

And the "Garfield" is actually a hand demonstrating a split-fingered fastball, I believe. As to the other one, film reels can be copied/reproduced. So that is likely a copy as well.

I believe that is a two-seam (or sinking) fastball. Forefinger and middle finger are not far enough apart to be a splitter.

Unfortunately, during the time you bought these it was the wild rest for forgeries - everything from autographs, photos, Elvis Presley's hair and drops of George Washington's sweat.

If anyone has been in this hobby for any length of time, they have been scammed at one time or the other. Welcome to the club with many members!

It's not a film negative.
Those would be transparent
The sprocket holes are actual holes that go through the film
Bar codes weren't a thing in 54
