MVSNYCi agree with everything Jim is saying here...i saw the strip in person at the Halper Sale, i don't think anyone was questioning it's authenticity back then, everyone was just blown away by its existence...
Jim has pointed out correctly that this is a proof (or supposed to be), so it makes sense and is understandable that a few of the players uniforms might look different then their final production cards, because it is after all, a proof or prototype...
it is interesting that the borders are off white, maybe this was a test or an experiment. looks like at the point of the cross-hatches, it is worn down to the original white borders or white card stock (Joe D jump in please, sir).
it is also interesting to note that the "seperation" lines that Ted speaks of, has some creasing/wrinkling at that line, maybe it was slightly scored?
well, not sure about any of this i guess, i just imagine that such a high-profile Halper piece would be authentic, or at least i would hope so...
