I worked in a card shop in the '80's and '90's and would take these and show the owner a real one(not Wagner obviously) held up to a bright light, and then theirs held up. Aside from the other tell/tell signs, if you can see the silhouette through the back when holding up to the light then you see the difference. Next would be to show the difference in printing through a magnifying loupe. For the owner of this card - Unfortunately there is zero % chance that this is authentic. Buy a low cost authentic T-206 and a $10 loupe and check for yourself. There are available resources for what to look for when viewing through a loupe.
