Definite fake. The white borders are too big, there's no black border around the photo, and the caption has the wrong font.

I thought there was something amiss with the guy who was offering it and it appeared "off".

Thanks

I totally agree with your assessment.... good eye on the font (notice the position of the last button above the T in Wright)

Yup 100% fake. Caption and wear give it away.

Agree, font is wrong among other things. The darkness around the edges of this card look like the thing has been baked in an over at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Thanks guys. I thought there was problems when it was offered up for trade and I asked the new member to send 1st and then he stopped communicating. Then showed pic and red looks too rich, card is bigger, looks glossy,card looks artificially aged (burnt corners, eraser on 3/4 corners and the things you guys pointed out. Thanks again.
