"You’re bidding on the item pictured in the auction. I included multiple clear pictures so you can see exactly what your getting. I don’t know anything more than the pictures provide. I’m selling this as a reprint. You will receive the exact card pictured for this auction. Thanks KC"

Looks like some shady goings on here. Each corner "rounded" exactly the same and the slab/slab label looks like something my kids did as an art project in elementary school, made in the garage under some fluorescent lights.

“I don’t know anything more than the pictures provide” is one of the most pathetic cop-outs I’ve ever heard. There’s no place for people like this in the hobby. Yet unfortunately there’s 52 bids on this.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want. |

"Selling it as a reprint" is all I need to see. Pass.

Only 2 things to say about this
1. It's the same 3-4 people bidding on this to include 1 who bumped his own bid up 10 times with no one else bidding
2. Love how the seller used a non-descript "grading company" for both listing. My guess is that if it went to PSA or other ligit company re flags would fly

Those style slabs are so easy to pop open and reuse.

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

Same here, BUT, this one confuses me just looking at the card itself; how can you tell that it's a reprint if it isn't printed as such on the card? How can one tell that a card has been laundered? I know how to tell if it's been trimmed, but how does one know to distinguish normal wear from manufactured wear?
