Thanks Ryan, I'm honestly not sure if it is skinned or not, but it is definitely a frankencard of some type. The card is definitely two parts, with the front being paper thin (like an E105) and the back being closer to normal card stock. Below is the description from when it sold in B&L.

Orange Background Cy Young What Am I ? Printers Scrap?
"1909-11 era Orange background Cy Young card, a pose used on various issues...E90-1, E92 & E101. This one has been glued to some heavier stock and appears to either be skinned or on paper stock. It appears to be possibly handcut and display very heavy blue inking, especially behind Young's head, a trait not seen on any of the normal Orange background Young's from the standard series. Might this have been some kind of printers scrap? A tough and desirable card from any of the aforementioned sets, we will start it low and let it fly. You may use it as a hole filler for the set of your choice."
