Great photo image but to me the side and bottom borders look to be a bit small....maybe slight trimming? What do you think?

That's pretty much the normal American Beauty. Except for how nicely it's centered. Most are skinny and sometimes a bit short, but way off center percentage wise.

How about ones they won't grade?

Pretty sure this one should have received a Authentic grade.

He has an amazing collection of 89 Fleer Bill Ripken error versions all in PSA slabs. He has so many cards with alterations so obvious Stevie Wonder could see them but PSA slabbed them with a # for him.

For those that don't understand printing. Those counterfeit Ripken cards are 10X as hard to counterfeit than a 50s card with white borders.

This one just arrived yesterday, Ben.

Can you tell from the scans if it is real or not? (I should have done more homework prior to purchasing! )

That one looks good. There are a ton of fakes out there of that card and its variations. Some guy in Iowa started printing(home printer) them up a couple years ago but they are very easy to tell they are fake in hand.

The ones I posted are fake but done with a real printing press. The biggest give away is the thinner card stock, the very obvious second generation photo, and the recropping of the photo.

PSA has stopped grading the high quality fakes i posted. SGC and Beckett has always rejected them as counterfeit.

Thanks Ben.

I purchased it from a reputable seller so I assumed it was real but after reading your post, I wasn't so sure anymore.
