This Cum Posey appears to be a laser copy to me

If you look closely you can see where the other ink was sanded away. And yes this can be done. I was just serving as a court appointed expert (fraudulent photographs) a few months ago where a guy was sanding off ALL the ink on the backs of vintage press photos and then adding Conlon, Paul Thompson and Van Oeyen stamps over the blank backs in an attempt top turn Acme and United Press photos into the work of famous photographers. Without holding it in your hand and feeling the roughed up areas it would be impossible to tell from a scan. The person who did that on this Posey was probably not doing it to fake people out, but aesthetically trying to make the item look more like a 3X5 (which some people really get into). Who knows, but 100% this is an authentic signature clipped from one of the Homestead diplomas and then the rest of the ink was sanded away.
