    From previous sales and the feed back it looks as if the seller moves some high dollar legit cards. I have no opinion on the one pointed out here.

    No opinion? Everybody has an opinion. Why is the printing so faded? Why does the holder look resealed? GAI is not a reputable grading company. How come the seller doesnt get it graded by PSA?

    rmillon, why do you assume it's counterfeit? What do you see to make you think the holder has been tampered with? Those are some serious charges to just throw out there unless you have something of substance to back it up with.

    Why would anyone make a counterfeit that looks like that? I get wanting to own one but wow. But maybe that’s the genius of it? Maybe the card is real but the tape holding it together is fake.

    I don't think you have to worry about counterfeit cards with that guy. Other things perhaps.

    BTW: That card is a well known example and has floated around from table to table for years now.

    The holder looks tampered you can see frosting on the sides I feel like I am baking a cake when I see that holder.
    The card is faded on the front and back why would the card be so faded?
    Why would you have a 52 Mantle in a GAI holder do you people know anything about the crooks that used to run that company? Wow I came on here to get information but it seems that I am the one that has to school you.
    Why wouldn't you get it graded by PSA SGC or Beckett get it out of that holder its a eye sore.
    If that card were in a PSA new holder that would really remove all doubt and I would even buy the card for $7500 if I was in the market for that type of card. I actually think that card if authentic is so beat up I dont think its worth the money but at least get it graded by a reputable grading company in a tamper proof holder that does not look like it was compromised,

    Why would anyone drop $2-500 to cross that over? It'd be a waste. You throwing money down the drain on a tough sell already.

    Oh life is filled with so many questions. Of course, the biggest question for me right now is, "why can't I have a wife that doubles as a weed eater"?

    The holder IS NOT compromised. When I get back to work, I will show an image of what a compromised holder looks like so everyone will know what to look for. Sometimes when you sonically seal those holders, you get those naturally white spots. Those aren't big enough to insert a card in though.

    THIS is what a compromised slab looks like.....

  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭

    Notice how the sonic seal is still in place at the bottom. Then look at the top of the card. THAT is what a true compromised slab looks like. The GAI slab is normal.
