This site includes the Mattingly on its master checklist FWIW.

That site also lists a card they believe to be counterfeit so I wouldn't put too much stock into what they put on their list.

Will PSA, SGC or Beckett put it in a slab?

Looks like a non-period fantasy card. I vote fake.

The Mattingly is described by this eBay merchant as a counterfeit, albeit one that is "highly sought after." Of course it is. He's the one selling it.

Final sales price: $450

Both the Wade Boggs and this card (especially) look bogus. I would say the word "counterfeit" would be an accurate one.

Can something be a counterfeit if there was never an actual original?

Maybe "knockoff" would be a better word. The idea is that they are very similar to other, legitimate minor league cards from the same time period and use actual minor league pictures from the year in question.

Nabisco would have never issued something so cheap looking. At least the Ajax Dog Food cards had the audacity to look truly horrible.

It reminds me of that Mark McGwire Anchorage Pilots Card.

With so much obviously going against these cards as being a legit issue the question is why do they consistently bring so much money?

Same reason some reprints sell for big money. Sucker born every minute.

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I thought it was fake but wanted to ask on that ever so slim chance it was real.
