Kevin Saucierbut it is pretty clear that the counterfeiter decided to erase the entire bottom and retype it as opposed to adding the lettering "Nat'l" -- obviously it is easier to pick up two different fonts with them side-by-side. Rewriting the whole thing over means you'd have to either eye-ball it, or lay it next to another authentic card.
I didn't want to say anything, but you're dead on. Exactamundo!!!!
From a card doctor's perspective, I consider it to be somewhat of a sloppy job as well. It could have been done much better, which would have been worse for the hobby. That is a tough alteration to accomplish.
