Hi, Irv. That Jackie Robinson wasn't produced by McCarthy, but the blank back version is a legitimate vintage issue. The card can also be found with a JJK Copy Art reverse and with a divided-back postcard reverse, so there are three versions total (that I know of), not counting the Old Gold Cigarettes version, which uses the same image but has additional text on the front.
