Default I'm a little confused...

Can someone tell me why they think there isn't an underlying "CHICAGO"

Tsaiko said: "Isn't that Cubs lettering way too dark for the uniform? The Chicago underneath is about the right shade for the uniform, but the Cubs?? No way."

...but nobody disputes the Cubs lettering is real.

Then T206Fiend said: "No way that was done by a press.It looks like a 7 year old just playing with his cards with a pen."

...but here I agree with what Tsaiko said, i.e., that the Chicago underneath is about the right shade and style for the uniform.

Isn't it possible that that was from the original photo, and that most Tinkers have that part erased before the printer would place the brown CUBS on top?

I just don't see it as obviously fake, guys. Maybe a well done fake -- given it is not slabbed, etc. -- but not obvious to me at all.
