Yet it looks like some sucker is willing to pay $61 for it as I write this.

I just sent the seller with a enormous 4 feedback this:
"I can assure that this card is NOT genuine. At no point or time did Old Mill ever produce a back with Red text. Also the front font Detroit and Cobb are well off the mark in all CAPS. No differentiation between size of the front font as well. Congrats on whomever you've suckered with this thus far. "
