Been wanting one since but had to be in great shape and very pricey at that. Now, a reasonable price, I just won this...if anything, it looks like a 5 and great centering. The MK they say is small pencil mark on black black and only visible at an angle....

nice duffy...one of the first vintage cards I got "duped" on as a young boy in the early 80's was a fake mayo lave cross with a non black back. Common knowledge today...but what did I know then????
