I recently bought a counterfeit Hornsby from a similar series....Looked good on a computer screen but in my hand it was clearly a counterfeit. The photo image was a separate layer of paper than the reverse advertisement...i'll add that the photo image was of outstanding quality. The card was actually two separate pieces of paper glued together professionally---dual layering. Your card may very well not have dual layering, but it still looks fishy.

IMHO, the image on the front of your card appears to be a quality reproduction. The reverse appears to be a stamp. These type of stamps could be made at any print shop. One would just need to bring an example of what they would like on the stamp and wala a stamp.

PS I hope your card is authentic but from what I see, I'm skeptical.
