I think it is a good buy too. I was thinking of bidding on it myself! A few weeks ago, a Broadleaf sold on Ebay for about $55. That card appeared to be in even worse condition than this one.

T206museum puts Broadleaf at an 8X multiplier and Uzit at a 30X multiplier, so I think you did OK if you work out the ratios.

It looks real to me but I wanted some more opinions. Rob

Its real alrighty, I saw it too. The reason it went low was because most back collectors focous on the back and therefore want a very clean and spotless back, so I think many stayed away from this card for that reason. A few days ago a t206 with Hindu backing with back damage sold for 14 bucks. This is another result and example that you can get rare backs for cheap because of minor back damage, because most of the back hunters will wait for the card to come up with a clear backing. Still a nice card and you can still see the bold blue UZIT on the back. For the price I think you still had a good buy.

It looks like I'll be the only guy who goes on a limb and says I don't think so. Looks too much like the "doctored reprints" for me to spend a $100 on.

Yes, as stated above. Its the real thing. If your worried about it being fake because of the price don't worry, the price was right maybe even a little low, you got a good deal, but the price was low because of the back damage.

Robert,
Don't worry about authenticity. The card is real. t206 reprints don't look like that. The back color is right, the text is right, and the card is good.

Was it a good deal? I think so. It's a rare card. If the back wasn't damaged, you would've had to throw down a few hundred more. I think it has character and it's a nice front/back combo. Hope you enjoy it.
