The Durocher is legit. Don't think there is any info out there to explain its existence in a concrete fashion. My guess is this was a proof that Goudey had lined up and cut before production to create the marketing ploy. If the existence of this card could ever be nailed down to prove it was the cut card in the ploy, then it should be far more valuable than the lajoie.
Regardless this is a rare bird! Put it up there past the blue back ruth as the coolest oddity in Goudey history.
