Hard to say would have to check with a black light ultraviolet

Unfortunatley the card isn't in hand. I'm currently a prospective buyer.

I hope this helps somewhat, I know this is a celluloid / plastic and is different from paper but maybe there are similarities in the print pattern

Well, on the Titanic card, the text definetly doesn't pop and the card overall looks very rough, in some corners of the card, the damage exhibied is very detailed with minute strands hanging off and looking almost like pulp. I'm sure there are forgires that have that level of detail, I just can't tell.

To be honest very hard to tell if its counterfeit or being authentic you would need to see it in person

I'm almost 100% sure it's real, there's no sign of modern printing artifacts and it looks typical of stone lithography of the period.

It's real.
