Jim ThierfelderI will preface my coments by saying I know almost nothing about the printing process and only slightly more about T206 backs and their authenticity.
Modern technology makes reproducing something into a stamp fairly easy to do. Although, the ornate detail on a Drum back would be a challenge to reproduce exactly. Has anyone compared it to a known authentic Drum back to see if it lines up correctly?
It looks to me like parts of the font is pixelized, particularly on the thicker curved lines such as the D in Drum. Is this from an enlarged scan, a moderately success copy of a drum stamp, or an inkjet print of a Drum back on a skinned card.
In any case, I hope it is found to be genuinely authentic. It still wouldn't touch Leon's multi-print/ghost back but it would be pretty cool.
