That one looks like a fake to me. Actually looks like it was cut pretty recently. If it were cut back in the 50's or early 60's (the only time someone could possibly not know the value of the card), I don't think those lines would be as straight as they are. Borders look a little too white, too, for a card with that much "wear" on it. The sharp edges would have rounded off a little by now.

It's real if you look at rest of the auction. Just some kid in the 50's who put together an album of cards and clippings.

Is there enough there to determine its authenticity?

Ya... looks like it was cut with a skate, and then beaten... with a skate.
<< <i>That sold on ebay a while back for like $500-$600. There was a thread here about it. >>
I remember that. I think it actually sold for a little over $700. It was about 3 or 4 years ago, seems like.
