It's my iPhone that's blurring the pictures. Here's a scan from my scanner.

These strip cards tend to lack the QC of their tobacco and candy counterparts. But, i'm leaning towards this one being legit.

I am still going with "no go" on this one. The back looks to have fake staining too. But maybe I am wrong, I have been before.

I just did a little digging and I'm flipping my vote. The W516-2-1 had deeper color and contrast. Also, the centering and near-perfect cut are a bit suspect. There are also a few examples of reprints floating around that look all too similar. So, Leon is probably right again.
