PM Leon he will move it.

As far as print dots, if it was a real card(they're not) there would not be print dots. The white on baseball cards is not printed on the card it is very thin layer of white paper attached to the front of the card stock.

The easiest way for them to make a "whiteout" version would be to simply stone the knob off the plate. Which would take maybe a minute to stop the press stone off the problem and restart.
They'd have to do it on every plate that was on a press at the time, but if they were using a four color press, that would be all of them.

And that would leave no print dots as well.

One made from whiting out or airbrushing the original art might show dots.

It seems strange this was moved to the water cooler section when there is another dedicated to modern baseball cards.

No offense, but who would bother to "fake" that card?

You would be amazed at how many people would like to make a few to several hundred dollars in a matter of seconds. The best part is the original card you alter can be purchased for under $1 so even if you screw up a few it doesn't matter.
