Centering gurus. Thoughts? Bradshaw rookie

The rare raw find for me these days. I missed on some others.

I don’t know anything about this set other than centering is tough. This card is awesome in every other way. What kind of grade am I looking at?

Thanks

Chad

    This looks altered/trimmed. :(

    Well I’m not out much if that’s the case so it’s worth the risk. Given what else he had, if it is he didn’t know it.

    What do you see to think it is?

    The total of the top and bottom border looks shy. Compare to a few on eBay or measure vs. 3.5"

    I hope that's a bad scan... It looks both trimmed and counterfeit. :s

    Measures up as it should

    Must be an optical illusion... the top/bottom borders on this PSA 8 look much bigger than on yours.

    This looks like a clear counterfeit to me--not real. Blue background says it all bud.

    Seems fake to me. Here is a side by side as close as I could get them to the same size.

    The color variation and graniness are concerning, although a bad scan could be at least partly to blame for this... But, in the comparison above, the cards themselves appear to be the same size, but the card on the left has smaller top and bottom borders... Also, the white box surrounding Bradshaw is taller in the left example... If it were mine, I'd be very concerned.
