I don’t want to come off as a killjoy but I feel as if your Fan Craze Mack is a reprint. The image of Mack, himself, and the surrounding shaded area appears way too dark. It is my opinion that real Fan Crazes are more eloquently shaded. This results in the image of the ball player and surrounding areas being much lighter. Also, more detail will be able to be made out of the player’s face in a real Fan Craze.
The card appears as if it could be a Fritch reprint. He issued a series of these with very similar traits (very dark shading on both the player and oval he is in resulting in little detail on the player’s face).
There is currently an SGC graded example of this card on eBay. The eBay Mack clearly shows the light and very well done shading that is exhibited in both Fan Craze sets.
