No comment on it's legitimacy, but I love that he traced the creases with red lines in the scan....I wish more sellers did that.

In my opinion if it were real it would have been graded, trimmed or not. In any case not worth risking 8k on it. If it seems to good to be true it probably is.

It is certainly a roll of the dice. I would tend to lean towards legit. With the sophistication of today's fakes, not worth the chance for $8k.

If I was seriously interested I would have tried to get a guarantee of it being unaltered. But as someone said it might be worth 8k in an AUT holder anyway. It's a nice card.

Trick for confirming a diamond cut versus unparallel edges: turn the image 90 degrees to one side (or turn your head). It becomes much easier to read on the side, it's an optical tool.

To me, this card appears to have a slight diamond cut, and the top & bottom edges seem pretty parallel.

Even if it is altered I would agree the price is still probably a good deal, if it came back as not authentic you are just out the grading fees which on a card like this is a few hundred due to the price level but no more since you would get your 8K back through eBay as it was sold as an original. Not much of a gamble really.
