Default Thoughts on this 1962 Topps blank back Ruth

Any thoughts on this blank back ruth? The card stock seems a bit thicker and the image seems a bit smaller. Was there ever a display of this card? Hoping to sell, but would like confirmation that it's real first.

Thanks for any and all input.

The card on the left is a green tint variation and the card(?) on the right has the regular front. From the pic I don't have an opinion on real or not but the card stock looks different.

The blank backed card appears to be hand-cut (from a sheet?), perhaps that is the reason for the size variance.

Not sure if I'm just reiterating what others have said, but it's gotta be some sort of reprint, for lack of a better word, because on original 1962 cards the white box containing the picture is the same size on both the regular and 'green tint' versions.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I'm leaning towards a reprint. Not sure of any other reason there would be a size difference. Cardboard stock looks a little less quality than 62 Topps with many more tiny darker specs.
