Did anyone get a load of the sign above that went off on eBay last Wend. March 10th?

..."The display measures a large 18 1/2'' x 13''. It is made of thick die-cut cardboard."...

Naturally I assumed it was a repro of the real thing you see below, that sold in the 2006 REA, which measures 40 x 60 inches and sold for $98,600.00. I recall there were some repros of it and this was probably one of them....I guess...There is a small question about it though....the one that sold on eBay has a white rectangular box that says "A Famous Play" under Mathewson's chin...which the REA one doesn't have...What's that all about? As I recall, I thought the repros were identical to the REA one...maybe I'm wrong though. Based on the photo of the one eBay one, it looks fake...sort of faded. But photos are inconclusive of course.

Can anyone confirm the eBay one is a repro?
