So help me out to understand this since I'm not a collector of N172's. Is this card fake? Is it real but been rebacked? So what's the story?

I wasn't suggesting it was real...just that it appears to be rebacked...which would be another give away it may be fake/altered.

The card is 100% fake. This one almost got me for a second because the photo quality is a little bit better than usual.

John,

The link in your last post was a "dead end". A rebacked fake would be really special - total double whammy, add the extra coating and now I'm out of the bidding....

I'd ask the seller the dimensions of the card. My guess is that it comes up short and narrow. Unfortunately this Royer crap has been around for a few years...

Hey, would you be interested in a Larry Corcoran OJ if it had a Royer Stamp?

That link is for all the threads with Royer in it. Royer Corcorans are very rare so of course I'd want one or two or all of them

Hi, what are the dimensions of the card? Thanks, Matt
A: Hi, thanks for your interest and your question. The card is about 2 3/8" long by about 1 5/16" wide. I hope that this helps and good luck if you decide to bid. Best regards, RJ

That's actually pretty close to the size of a standard OJ. In any case, don't waste your time or money bidding on it. If you sent it to SGC or PSA it shouldn't receive a grade (numerical or AUTH).
