That is not a good deductive argument against the legitimacy of any card. It has a formal fallacy. A good deductive argument has to have all true premises from which the conclusion is reached:
All men are mortal
I am a man
I am mortal.
The argument against the card is:
All genuine Old Mill cards are black backed
This card is blue-backed
This card is not a genuine Old Mill
Problem is, no one here has seen every Old Mill card ever made. The first leg of the argument is invalid. It is a fallacy of division variation: ascribing an attribute to every member of a class because every known member of the class has it. Doesn't rule out the exceptional cases within the unknown part of the group.
