Default Jackie Robinson autograph card - Your thoughts?

I bought this on ebay in the late 90s and it was part of a larger group of signed Dodger cards. Most of them looked pretty spot on, but this and a 57 Campanella were possibly questionable. I was comfortable with the price for the lot assuming Campy and Robby were fakes, so I am not out anything on this deal either way. I have always assumed that this was likely not real, but since I had no plans to deal it, I just told myself it was real and went with it. I have never really sought opinions on it, professionally or otherwise.

I have tried to assemble a complete team set of signed 1956 Topps Dodgers, but the big 4 were clearly major hurdles to a budget conscious collector. I sadly have to consider my team set "complete" without any of those 4 (Campy, Hodges, Koufax, Robinson).

Since there seems to be a solid and confident knowledge base here, I thought I would toss it out and see what the group thought. Any chance this is the real deal?
