Default 1936 Overland Candy stock

A correspondent has sent me an example of a half a dozen Overland (R301) cards he recently bought. I suspect they're fake, since the sample he sent is printed in dark blue on greenish stock about the consistency of the colored construction paper we used in school in the 1950s. It's also only the player portion of the "wrapper."

Can anybody give me a verbal description of the real thing? The Standard Catalog says it is "waxy."

Thanks much!
