Default W551 Strip Card Help

Can anyone tell me if there are W551 strip cards with blue lettering that are original? I see there is one on ebay now that was certified Authentic by PSA.

Default Not worth the risk...

I've been watching this one also. My initial gut reaction was that it is a reprint that slipped passed PSA and I am sticking with that assessment.

I also agree that is probably a reprint that got past PSA. Besides the lettering, I've never seen that kind of red "blotching" in front of a genuine card. Usually, the image is crisper. On the left is the "bad" card from the ebay auction referenced. On the right is the card that I currently own, which should be genuine.

I also thought that this ebay auction with a bunch of W551's were bad for the same reason. Link They all look like reprints.

Could this be another example of the card being switched in the holder? We've seen that before.

Thanks.

Could also very well be, Andy.

Either way, the ebay card screams, "Stay away!".
