The seller has 100% positive with 10,000+ feedback. They have other PSA graded cards for sale, some at much higher dollar amounts. I checked cert numbers for a few of this seller's four- and five-figure items. The certs checked out.

I really don't think this seller would jeopardize their business over one card that will sell for (likely) less than a thousand dollars. It just wouldn't make sense.

The auction still has a few days to go. There are a dozen or so bids. It is currently at a few hundred dollars.

If it were an obvious zero-feedback scammer, I'd simply post the link. All things considered, though, I'm thinking of messaging the seller privately instead.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Best of luck. I done something similar and the seller sent me a profanity filled response telling me how important they are in the hobby. They also tried to belittle me in several ways. All I know is they sold a 100% altered card as a rare printing error. I have learned trying to be helpful usually results in a scammer calling you names.

Either way you get your answer. Although if this seller has several more expensive legitimate cards posted I would guess there is a good chance they're unaware of the issue and just might say thanks for the heads up and pull the listing.

From everything you’ve indicated, my guess is this is just error on the part of grader. Occam’s Razor, yadda yadda.

Still makes sense to contact seller with a heads up.

I have contacted sellers with "possible errors" in their listings and have always gotten a "thank you" or "appreciate it" so I would contact the seller.

Thanks, everyone. I sent the seller a quick message. I'll let you know how this goes.
