My concern for not bidding higher was this. Maybe it’s 100% but I wouldn’t be sold until seeing it in person. My fear is that the front looks like a newspaper woodcut possibly just affixed on a period postcard. Not sure of course but that’s my fear. Look at the edges. They look cut by hand. And the front has creases that don’t go through to the back that I can see from the pictures. Plus, the print quality is different on both sides. H&S thought it was good and I guess no TPG opinion needed. I dunno. Still a one of a kind item that has many red flags.
