Ben,

This is exactly how I got scammed as noted in Post #15. However, I should point out that once i held the card in my hand i could tell it was a reprint. It had me 2nd guessing myself for about 15 minutes. Never again.....

And that dual layer card stock is hard to fake. If you look at the edges and compare it to the top surface, you can see it doesnt match up in fakes in the post 50s era.
