Default 1928 Fro Joy Babe Ruth - Authentic?

I just received this Fro Joy and am hoping to get opinions on its authenticity. At first glance out of the package, I thought something wasn't right about it compared to my authentic Fro Joy cards, but I'm in the process of testing it further.

Someone mentioned using a microscope in a previous Fro Joy thread to differentiate paper types, but since we know a black light will cause a modern counterfeit to fluoresce, will it also exaggerate various paper types, whether modern or vintage, to the point that their differences are easily recognizable? Will different types of paper look different under the black light? I'm going to use one and take some pictures.

Leon, this may be one of those. If it's fake, it's a good one!

Thanks
