I stole this scan from the old post on the card. It's a better young reprint with the blue old mill back. This card was sold as a fake...with a blue old mill back...and it still looks better than the walsh. Does anybody think the Walsh looks better than the young?
Yes. The print quality is very different.

While the color of the name and team can be a red flag, black or very dark brown is not a solid indicator of a fake, especially on a computer monitor where so many things affect the displayed color.
