What's funny is that every one of his other auctions has crystal clear pictures. I bet you the card does look like that because the holder and the screw looks pretty clear.
If you look at the scan quickly, it looks like it could be a card of Barry Sanders. Maybe the seller's hoping that he'll get more for the card if he deceives people into thinking that it's a card of a good running back?

"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
matt, I was thinkin' about the, I think it was 1986 Sportflics Pete Rose. I have a handful of varieties. When you move the card a little the picture changes. When I scanned these items, it seemed to catch multiple images at the same time and what was a beautiful looking card in real life, looked a little messed-up, via the scan, as the pic was a type of 3-D, but the scan picked-up a two dimensional view of two different pics at the same time. Sorry if I'm not explaining all this a little clearer but,,,, ....this is most likely not the case with this card, but it just may be a nice lookin' example if it turned out to be one of those 3-D, "mutiple images" cards, that just do not seem to scan accurately.
Just the "smallest of movement" with one of those "multiple images cards", will change the picture. And if you move the card just a "tiny bit" you could witness a total mess of multiple images, maybe even simular to the said item in question here.
Oh bull, who am I kidding, that card scan really sucks!
P.S. I just "dug-out of my stash", a few examples of what I'm attempting to explain (...and most likley did a cr@ppy job tryin'!). I took a "few takes" to even get the scans this good, to represent the image desired, and my examples are of the highest end of the scale. The seller in question, seemed to scan the said card in a scratch-up thick sleeve, that most likely "distorted the scanned pic even more"!
This seller should be dragged-out of his house and beatin' to a pulp by a bunch of crazed Emmitt Smith sportscard junkies in front of his neighbors and children!
