Art Garfunkel - Is it authentic??

I bought this 5x7 postcard (printed on thick postcard like paper) on ebay for $20+$7 for shipping.
The back side is blank.

As I understand, Art used to send these to his fans a few years back.
I would like to know if it is authentic, and if anyone else have one of those - does it have any printing on the back side, or is it supposed to be blank.
Thanks.

Hold it back and forth in the light see if the pen is shiny

I'm not gonna be helpful on this but just wanted to say if that's real then that is a very cool find.

I wrote to him back in 2003 or so, I wish I had a scanner but I don't. It's the same picture - so yes, those were the pictures he sent out to fans TTM. Mine was terrific, in blue pen, inscribed: "your letter was filled with beautiful sincerity, Art Garfunkel".
Since my picture doesn't have a preprint sig on it, I'm gonna say yours is 99% authentic. (the autographs match)
Just to double check, make sure the ink looks glossy when held up to the light. I think you're good though!
