Not sure, but maybe some of the doubt this card inspires is from the re-dubbing done by Bowman on the original photo. Antonelli was traded to the Giants while the gum maker was proofing its 1954 press run, so it simply used a photo of him in a Braves uni, air-brushing the cap logo, and apparently either stuck his head on a Giants uni or imposed the uni below his head. I guess all that would lead to some question about the card's bona fides, but the photoshop did such a nice job, except for making the cap logo too small, it's nothing to complain about.
