Need help: M116 Real or Reprint?

[Cardboard_Mike]

Hi, I recently bought an M116 card and have not collected these before. The card seems to be paper thin and has a sort of waxy looking front. I have atttached images. I also attached a graded example that I found online that looks different from the one that I got. Need help to tell if the one I have is real or a reproduction. Thank you,

It shouldn't be paper thin. Real ones are on thicker card stock.

It looks off to me. The centering is near perfect on the front and back too. Always a bit suspect.

A real card would be nice.

btw, I am not 100% on it either way. Do you have it in hand?

Coloring looks a little too deep...

I bought this online and it arrived the other day. It is not as thin as a piece of paper, but it is an extremely thin cardboard with a wax like card face. The image on the card does not match with other examples I have seen online. I'm figuring it must not be real because the price I paid does not seem to match with the rarity of the card. There are only a hand full of these graded.
