As Rolando explained above most of the cards were removed from the cardboard backing. Finding Punch cards still attached to there cardboard backing is very rare. Most graded examples are missing the backing and receive an Authentic grade. I have attached examples of a card with its backing, the reverse of the backing, a Ty Cobb card without its backing and a graded card to show the size of the cards in a standard SGC slab.

Appreciate your overall explanation, thank you. But with regard to the card being discussed in this thread, isn't the
Cobb part in a penny sleeve on top of the cardboard backing? Doesn't look like an optical illusion, it looks like plastic, no?
