Did you check all the Sold outs to see if there were any previously sold that have the back variety shown in the image? The Hooton seems fairly obvious based on fuzziness and letter spacing that it's fake. The '68 back looks more real to me. But it would be hard for nobody else to have checklisted it over time, since it was already a known wording variation.

John:

Whenever I check for variants I just check every card that has been ever been scanned. I don't know if they are sold out or not when I do a project such as that or the Hostess Brown Backs, etc. I just check every card we have ever had.

On the Yaz -- I set up one of each new variant you can check and if you want to add that's fine I'm having a ton of fun with the Artist's Names -- keep those coming.

Cool; doing the best I can with those. Deciphering some signatures is like reading hieroglyphics.... ;-)
