Should have known that from the tilt of the world. When that particular negative or transparency was offered on eBay, there was no watermark. However, the image offered on eBay was also cropped to be much thinner than this current eBay autograph offering (which is also much sharper than the lo-res image Topps posted to eBay back then), which suggests this print is from the original negative or transparency and not something that was blown up from an eBay image (and, yes, I've seen plenty of those).
