Authenticity Indicators
Correct coarse gray cardstock; appropriate 1977 copyright text at the bottom; correct pink/magenta ink saturation. High confidence of authenticity as this is not a high-target card for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant bottom-heavy centering; soft top-right corner; manufacturing 'rough cut' on the right and left edges; surface appears slightly dull due to typical paper fiber aging.
