I'm betting the silly eBay program wouldn't authenticate it because it is a stamp, not because it is a fake.

100% legit. I own a complete set of Helmar Stamps. There are a few reprints out there, but they are pretty easily detectable. This one is not one of them. I think the eBay authentication program is flawed, nothing wrong with the stamp itself. You got a nice HOF rookie “card” too, which is why I presume you picked it up.
Nice snag!!

It looks real to me...
I suggest you illuminate it with a black light for self-satisfaction. Really easy to do, real ones won't fluoresce. |

Fun thing, one way of determining the paper of some stamps from the 1870s is that they react to UV.
Same with the inks. On a few it can be the difference between $100 and $4000 |
