Post mortem on this: I finally got to handle the card in question -- card stock is very clearly different from an authentic 1975 card. I could tell the moment I touched the surface and the edge of the card. There is a modern feel to the paper, which is thinner than the authentic ones. I won't cast aspersions on the seller of the card, but probably should.
