I personally don't care for that much frosting

Crappy scan probably ok....my 2 cents

Not a chance. Sorry for the misplacement of the thread

The PSA boards don't like her either.

To my eyes, this is a sunburned Mantle and the black frame is too wide and dark. I vote replaced.

Does not appear to be the same card from last Nov....the case has much frosting on it now and the print marks from the MH image are not present on the card. Plus they are two different types....the MH is a type II and the one in the ebay listing is a type I. However, the SGC flip is miscut in both images

....this is some high-dollar fraud going on here ; the "proper authorities" might be getting interested at this level of $$$...it's over the threshold of "petite larceny"..

I contacted the seller and shared with them the previous sale of this card....they feel that either the card from Nov is a fake, that SGC made a mistake of some sort, or finally that SGC is pulling a scam. She says she will call, I am assuming she meant call SGC.

I would bet a lot of cash it is not SGC pulling a scam. That slab looks bad and so does the card.

Looks like she pulled the listing....guess she got enough messages and realized her fake $35k card would not fly under the radar.
