Is This A Reprint Or Not?

    I could be wrong but that label/flip doesn't look right to me. The font seems a bit off in the photos from what I see. Also, the crisp defined dark black of the font does not match up the blurry grayish look on the bar code lines. Inconsistency is a good red flag indicator. Also, why else would he be selling it as a reprint?...

    I do not understand what is going on with this. This one frightens and confuses me.

    Here’s a scan from a previous sale. Clearly not the same card.

    The bar code on the eBay photo is immense! “I have not detected any tampering with the case. The PSA label appears original and authentic.” More proof that perfect feedback doesn’t mean much.

    How much more honest do you want the seller to be?

    The seller is being up front with the ad.

    But, someone else "may" not be so honest and pawn it off as good - that's a 4K card I believe - when real?

    Just my take.

    So this is the OPC Goudey version, I see.

    Regardless of the fake one here in the OP, I'm not sure why there is only one card on the pop report from this set so far that specifies English Only (as opposed to Bilangual) but it does seem like a necessary distinction that PSA should be making on the flips. Hopefully doing so will be common practice for their labeling of this set in the future.
