Saw this card on EBay and suspect it wasn't produced by Flair. The original listing can be seen at the following link and includes two other photos. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191792924429 Note the side view, looks like the top/front isn't attached well. The back of the card is just a standard back, no certificate of authenticity. What do you think?

An altered card. In other words a fake. The Ballpark Heroes never had memorabilia versions. Not a very good one at that. Notice the poor, imperfect holes cut for the swatches and signature cut. Here's a good article about this problem stemming from the Fleer Bankruptcy Auction.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
