I borrowed this from another Net54 thread from a few years ago...

"The 2 telltale signs I recall to spot a phony was if you held the card up to a strong light looking at the reverse side, you could see the 4 circles easily, due to a paper stock that was too thin & had a waxy feeling to them, not like the typical cardboard.
Also on the phony Rose, there was a black outline around the cap of the Rose photo"

I'm not an expert on the card, but hopefully this helps a little!
