I accidentally posted this on the thread Connor912 started about the ending price of this auction. I think I will get better results if I post this here.
Could someone educate me about what makes this a fake? Is the only reason it is FOR SURE a fake is because it is not slabbed?
I saw this for one for sale about a week ago, and was considering bidding $100 for it. I thought the background looked a little too orange and not golden enough, and I was 99% sure it was a fake. Also, the dark brown outline around the card looks a little too washed. Still, I thought it was worth $100 to fill a hole in my collection (kinda like what we call filler).
I am just looking to learn. Please take a look at my link below and tell me why this card is fake other than the fact that it is too good to be true and not slabbed. Thanks.
