I would appreciate any feedback on whether this card is authentic or an old reprint? Thanks for taking a look. The card stock is solid but bottom corners seem off but I am far from an expert.

    Real... If that's a reprint, we're all in trouble.

    The only thing that is suspicious is that it’s not already in a holder.

    Thank you all for the comments. Much appreciated. That was my worry. If you're confident it's authentic why not get it graded and sell for way more?

    I also read this article and contacted Andy. He said he wasnt able to tell w/o having in hand under a light.

    That it wasnt graded

    As long as it's legit, that looks like a perfect example to get autographed. Presents very nicely, but not a high grade gem. Something to consider...

    having not handled the card, it sure looks authentic to me.

    Wondering if any of you bid on the card? The day after I posted it suddenly got bids so just curious.

    Just looked at the listing. A couple of things stand out. The seller is selling other graded cards so that begs the question of why is this one not graded? If I was bidding on this card I would message him and ask if the card is original or a reprint. The fact that he does not offer returns is alarming as well.

    The only thing that concerns me about the look of the card is that the top corners show very little wear and tear compared to the bottom corners. On first glance card looks to be original but I would really like to hear the story behind the card since the seller does not offer returns. My guess is the card has been altered (if it is original) that is why it is not in a holder. The only way I would bid this card would be if the seller had a convincing story. Good luck if you win it.

    Thanks for your take. I agree doesnt feel right. Though I've prob passed on some good deals out of caution.
