Bottom picture look at the lines that make up the oval with RBI in it and the number 15

Too many inconsistencies to even start pointing them out. Almost every fine line is jacked. |
And that's where it gets strange. It shows tons of signs on the back of being a straight photographic reproduction.
But, if that's what it was the screening of the gray on the back would match exactly. And it doesn't. It's more coarse and on a different angle. And it's not recreeened from an original card, if it was the screening would be messed up in many ways because the original pattern and the new pattern wouldn't match.
So what the heck was that new halftone screened from?
There are loads of odd things like that.
I do also think it's fake, at one time I suspected a special run for HSN or something like that. But whoever did it put in a lot of effort that's not typical of fakes.
