I like that the card has the correct dot-matrix printing on the front — you don’t see that on reprints — and I don’t think the lettering on the name and team are black, or that the Piedmont isn’t blue (it’s a poorly lit photo). The missing factory designation looks like it came away when this card was soaked off of a scrap book, which the frayed edges and corners suggest happened.
But what I can’t explain is the blue shadowing on the bottom front, which disappears and shows up on the reverse on the wrong side. That’s really weird.
Either way I’d prefer a better picture or scan, but I would wait to have the card in hand before crying fraud.
Just my two cents...
