High confidence. Card stock matches authentic 1984 Topps cardboard composition, correct font styling, standard vintage print dot patterns, and proper back layout. Not a high-profile card for counterfeiters.
Flaws to Note
Minor corner wear typical of raw 1980s cardboard, possible light surface scuffing common on glossless 1984 Topps stock, and slight centering bias toward the left border.

Selling Tips
