Thanks guys! I stayed away from it. Couldn't believe it went for as much as it did.

I will be a dissenter and say it looked ok to me. Could there be an erased mark somewhere? Sure. I had a snipe on it just not that high, due to foreseen condition issues.

I think it looks real. Good catch on the erasing on the back. I would've never seen it.

If it wasn't for the writing/erasure/alteration, the realized price would have been in line with a grade of 2, which it could have easily received.

Like Leon, I also had a snipe set on it for quite a bit lower than what it went for.

I have quite a knack for finding card issues but I honestly don't see anything that looks erased.

I would bet money it's authentic, after that you're on your own.

You guys amaze me! You see things that I would never, ever catch. A prime example of why this forum and its members' knowledge are such an invaluable resource.

Bravo!

In the second photo (the first photo of the card’s reverse), it looks like there may have been something written between Johnson’s name at the top of the card, and the card text. This close-up should show it better.

Incidentally, I can’t zoom in that far on that image with clarity when using eBay on a phone, only on a desktop or tablet. Maybe eBay lowers image size/quality when their site is used on a phone.

Default Looks real to me
I owned one (better condition) that I got in the "back in the day" (60s). Stayed raw for decades and only got graded when I sent it to a AH a few years back. So, it can happen.

I see something there now. Thanks for helping point it out
