I agree. Getting to the back of that piece is necessary.
Phil send it to me. I'll get it off that scrapbook page for ya.

Good news, I brought the postcard to SGC today and it was legit and has already been encapsulated as Authentic. I'll post a scan of it later today when I get home from work.

Thanks for all the opinions and advice, guys!

Nice work! How did you get the scrapbook paper off?

Why Authentic?

The postcard was very well glued onto the scrapbook page so I made a decision to leave the solid black background attached to the back of the postcard rather than risk either paper loss to the postcard or spots of black paper all over the otherwise white postcard-back. That also accounts for the Authentic grade as well as the scrapbook page was trimmed down to the exact size of the postcard.

A paper conservator can probably get that scrapbook paper off with no problem...I'd want to know what's on the other side of that card.

Phil that's awesome. Fantastic pick up. I to think with just a little bit of effort the back paper could be removed if needed. Personally it wouldn't matter to me.
