Can someone with better eyesight help me out?

Just saw this, and I'm unlikely to break my "no raw unopened off Ebay" rule, but for the life of me that just doesn't look like either the front or the back of a 1970 card showing through that wrapper.

I guess it could be grossly OC, but that's a LOT of white showing to the left.

    After those four National League games, Gorman Thomas was never the same, and neither were the Brewers, and come to think of it neither was I.

    Bingo!! That makes perfect sense. For some reason, I didn't think those were on that side of the pack.

  • The piece of gum is to small for a 1970 on that pack
    looks like late 70s gum

    YUP ... it's a Booklet.

    Regarding the seller: There is no picture of the reverse, which you want to see when buying unopened wax.

    My question: Is the seller unfamiliar with unopened and thus the reason there is no other picture OR is the seller VERY familiar with unopened and he had a reason not to show the reverse??????

    Yeah, I would never buy without a CLEAR image of the seal, but this one looked odd enough from the front that I never made it past that.

    Like i said piece of gum is not right the gum piece in 1970 is big enough that even when it brakes apart
    it covers most of the inside of the wrapper here are some pics to help you understand

    Gum looks OK to me - roughly 60% of the pack width and 75% of its height.

    He's not a scammer.

    I've bought a few slabbed cards from him without any issues, and he does have more than 8000 feedbacks.

    That being said, he may not do much with unopened so I'd ask for a hi-res scan of the back.

    Wow, toolhaus is not really fond of him. He seems to have a pattern of misplacing inventory.
