All I could find

Found that too… Same photo but obviously no notation and this has a back to it, so I really have no clue what the deal is

Looking at the horrible trimming, it’s easy to think it is a cut from a book or magazine. I assume in hand you can tell the paper weight. Based on that I would look for periodicals or guides to find the source of the cut.

I found this— no back pics but this would suggest a tram issue which was my original thought

The link to the eBay listing is no longer available. Do you mind describing what you saw suggesting it's a team issue?

Weird, it works for me — it’s another player and it looks exactly the same including the same size and the facsimile signature, and the seller described it as a team issue which I know is not infallible. That having been said I sort of assumed it was a team issue since the only reference to the photo I can find is at the above link which would have come from the team, and there is no copyright marking anywhere on the photo or on the back of it.
