I originally got this from Phil Steinschnierd a year or more ago, and I am very happy with it. I'm a bit of a graphics hound myself, and I was very impressed with phils attention to detail. As with his other work, he researched the heck out of this prop. There are only a couple quick frames in the film which show this piece, so it must have been tough. I beleive I read that phil managed to contact the person who designed it for the film, and had access to some rare reference material. The piece appears to be printed on an Alps printer, and has some of the trademark artifacts associated with that type of output. I'm not sure of the exact name of the degredation style, but it's similar to what you find when black and white pictures are printed in the newspaper. As far as my collection goes, I think both of the cards are of great interest. Phil's is interesting to me because of all of the work that went into researching it, while the second ID is of interest because of it's interpretive aspects.
