Except it's spelled "grammar."

It's often hard to authenticate anything from a scan, and harder still from a very blurry one. It looks funky but it could in fact just be the scan. I'm undecided.

I'm typing on my iPad so it keeps on autocorrecting, because it thinks I want to write the name Grammar.

I can't tell from the scan and I have a feeling that's by design. Just look at how clear the scans are on the new shiney cards he has sold recently.

Fake as hell. The borders never wear like that and the bs k is void of staining from tobacco pieces since its a pb back.

When someone says it was given to me in 1983 that makes me think it is fake. Too much detail. I'm surprised it wasn't also his grandpa's.

Artificial wear around edges. Cropped inner image. Fake.

The distance from his left ear to the gold border is quite narrower. Same can be said with the space between the cub figure in the left upper corner and the border.

The beginning of the "M" in Mordecai is also cut of by the left border.

Along with other reasons pointed out by other members, it was easy voting "not real".

Grading does coast alot.
Reprint, but I feel he or she may not be aware and is not trying to deliver the shaft to someone.

Someone should let them know...feel as though I would not be the right person, though.
