I own the specific card that started this thread, the ebay auction ended with a price that was considerably less than I had expected it to go for, which is good because my high bid wasn't much more than what I paid. I used my handy dandy kitchen knife to remove the plastic jail it had been confined to. It is real.
I still think it's a glorified print dot, but agree with Larry that it's a pretty neat variation, especially because of it's subject.
I am very intrigued by the probable existence of the other blue background variations, and I'm betting that Al (ALR-Bishop) and myself aren't the only ones who have looked thru their own collections...
