    I don't think you have to worry about authenticity, but looks like about a PSA 2 or 3 which you could've easily gotten for under $50.

    Im just shocked you would pay for a card that isn't nicely photgraphed an unslabbed. The front top margin is not even in the picture.

    This card sold for $170 This card has the same sweet caparol back

    This seems to be a much safer purchase.

    The card you were refering(item # 170010700990) has an oldmill back. That is what makes it more valueable.

    I wouldn't gamble. Too many people send crap cards with good scans, I can't imagine what they send with bad scans! I think I would have asked for better scans/pics and if I couldn't see the card I'm buying I'm not buying.

    I have no doubt the card is authentic and appears unaltered (though possibly marked). But it will get a PSA 2 due to that crease. I actually bid on this one too, but stopped bidding well before it hit that final price.
    Though most T206s are UNDERPRICED in SMR from what I can tell compared to what they're fetching on ebay (esp HOFs), this Kleinow is an exception. It seems that most T206 collectors regard this variation to be overrated....not as hard as the price guides would indicate. If you are looking to flip it, which seems to be the case, but may not be, I'd say you're gonna lose on this one. That end price was just too high.
