One thing that's pretty clear is the arrow in the Fleer logo crown. The real version features a darker yellow/gold and is clearly a different color than the yellow text box. This one is the same color. Also looks like the letters in his name at the bottom of the card are not crisp like they would be on a real card.
The reverse is harder to tell, because, like you said, it's a poor picture. However, it does not seem like the decimal is present in the 27.2. It's too blurry of a picture to see if the "registered" mark in the top left and the "copyright" mark at the bottom are clear on the card.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
These are so easy to pick out in person (either naked eye or with a loupe if needed) and there are SO many fakes out there, that it's just not worth considering buying one on Ebay unless a very experienced seller. This one has 155 feedback and 98.7%. PASS!
side note to Doug: 53 mantle went 430. took some work!

The seller sold another one twice, at $260 and $290. They also sold this one before for $325. With all the magazines they sell I would worry about stains on the card. James
