What Phil said is exactly what I was thinking, so I did a bit of research…
On this reprint (bottom), you can see the reprint verbiage isn't centered under "Indian Gum," it's skewed to the right. Now look at your card (they aren't perfectly aligned in my picture). That exact area of the back has been obliterated. You can see the darkness under the purple and red ink, practically yelling out, "Look Mom, I scratched this part away!!!" To me, it is very, very sketchy.
It's important to note--and may or may not be pertinent--that the reprint I am showing here is card #250, NOT card #274 like yours. I was unable to quickly find one numbered 274, so you'd have to decide what weight to give it.
