Oh no........

Lower right hand corner damaged. First card the listing picture, second picture what I got. Out of the 1000's of cards I've bought in the last 50 years, this card was the one I was most looking forward to adding to my collection. I am completing a Master set of the 66 Topps, a set I started when I was 10 years old.. Sick that a card this nice is ruined, the corner is very soft. The package was not damage nor were any of the other cards I bought. Whoever shipped this card damaged it. Opened a return transaction but would rather have had card.

    Looks like it was probably that way in the original scan. It's just a lower res scan or was resized/filtered in some way where details got lost. Most of the "snow" is missing from the original as well, probably due to the same reason.

    Nothing above reminded me of the band, just had an itch to pull out some old school hobby random concert photos from Phoenix shows.

    Its possible the original was fixed, it fooled 10 bidders who bid 23 times. Card was sold by largest card dealer on Internet. Bought from them many times before without problems.

    On to my next purchase.

    Not authentic OddRodz. I do not see the Will Ferrell cowbell guy anywhere. Questioning how you may have cleverly Photoshopped BOC members into your garage while playing Taiwanese knockoff instruments.

    Willie was trying to give you a heads up.

    Mickey, cool the thread was hijacked a bit ? I guarantee no one here intended such, it kinda like just happens. :) The blue background around the card pics though.. you sure the top one was a listing pic ? Ain't no listing link yet ?? That card though is Badass either way. and now for something .. completely different.

    Brad Park.. how in THE heck did he become MadMen's Pete Campbell 43 years later ? Is this VOODOO ?

    Out of the 1000's of cards I've bought in the last 50 years,

    Wow, 50 yrs!

    I thought I was the senior guy here - that would make you like 100?

    Just by looking at the background color from the sellers' original scan, I'd say that they did a PHENOMENAL & BREATHTAKING job of photoshopping out the dinged lower right corner (along with the snow in the black bands at the top and bottom of the card). ;)

    If I did the math right and I think I did, I was 10 when I started collecting this set. 50 years later still collecting and 60 years old. :)

    If you look closely the card was that way in the original scan. just a crappy scanner/scan job and it doesn't pop out but it is apparent to me
