That's what I did. I feel that the one on the CGC site is more plausible.

The yellowing looks like yellowing from glue.
It has no centering symbols.... neither does the page above from 1948.

JVJ (RIP):
Um, why would there be glue marks around the entire border of the artwork, Gene? And why would anyone draw a comic-book-sized box around a cover image? Crop marks, yes. Those allow for misregistration in printing, but a box is plain fool-hearty. Sorry, either of those aspects would make me discount the artwork immediately.

Agree with you on the registration marks being wrong on the reworked version. There was never a need for them on comic books as the coloring was always done using reduced stats and the coloring would be the only aspect that required registration.

The authentic Batman #11 has a box around it.

If the box is a problem, the glue could have been there to attach a border to get rid of the box.

I just think you guys are being extremely tough on the photoshop piece.
