So I've got a bit of a dilemma on my hands, I can't tell the difference between a fake card back and a real one, I deal in magic the gathering cards and I'm pretty good with spotting fakes, I recently purchased an 86 snakeeyes cardback and im a little suspicious,the 30+ year old price tag came off very easily and left almost no residue under a blue light,
I have multiple joe cards from years of collecting, if this one is a fake I see no difference in thickness, paper quality, texture, size, spelling or colour, everything looks legit, can some one help me out?, it would be appreciated, thanks.

Looks legit to me. No one would fake a card like that, then glue a bubble on it and then tear it off. At least I wouldn't think so.

One way to tell is to smell it. If it smells musty and "old" then it's legit.

Another way to tell is the printing, side by side you can tell a repro from an original. The images are crisper on the original. That looks original to me.

Price tags fall off. I've had a few fall off over time.
