It would’ve been interesting to find out whether the graphics are painted/screened, or flocked (raised velvet).
The fact that it’s being evaluated by an AH is not the end all-be all. I have seen countless reproductions offered by the top/most respected auction houses, many of which were subsequently withdrawn. There are a handful of people here who’s opinion I value more than any AH. But I’m sure it will surface again somewhere if Mark doesn’t buy it.

Yikes!
I’m not sure about the “squattiness” of the batter, but I see what you’re saying about the more shallow arching. This is why my collection remains “low end.”
P.S. we never heard the final disposition of the 1918(?) Red Sox that we all felt was no good, did we?
