I know nothing about this set, so here's the card in question (left) matched up with a graded one from eBay...

Other than the purported 'fake aging' happening, what jumps out at me is how the real card has all sorts of natural gradations in the colors, like the way the background goes from yellowy orange to real light green and then into dark green, and the gray of the uniform is shaded and nuanced, but your card has none of that gradated toning, and the contrast is stark, dark or light. The border of it is pretty weak, too. Not strong, thick lines like the eBay one.

Again, I know nothing about the set, but it doesn't look right to me.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
