Cert number checks out in their registry as a PSA 8 (one of exactly 1000). Looks like a very old flip. Do you think it is short/trimmed?

I'm guessing, Leon means the color, overall look of it?

It looks odd, faded, etc to me that way anyways.

Flip looks faded to me as well. If wonder if it's just a bad photo.

The color settings may be off on his/her scanner. The reds on the card and the flip definitely don't look red.

I checked out a few recently sold items this seller received feedback for. The poor colors seem to be a recurring theme.
