That said, it has a blank back and it if it's a fake it's a really, really bad one.

My FIL worked at Topps for a few decades and there's lots of samples and what not in his collection. Could this be one of those? Just wanted to get to the bottom of it before I chucked it.

Thanks!

Definitely no reason to chuck it given his prior connection to the company. There are a lot of people who know tons about the unreleased samples - you need to get linked up with them

I know -- at the end of the day it's just one card in a sea of tens of thousands. But I really dislike fakes and when I sell the collection I'd hate it to end up costing someone down the line.

I'm in the process of selling (or grading and selling) the more interesting stuff and will definitely be keeping the important stuff.
