So ya I went back and looked at the photo up close and you can see very easily the their is a Rosetta pattern for the CMYK printing process dot pattern, which mean the card have been scanned and then reprinted. ��-100%�� fake.

I never get why people won't read threads but will reply to them.

As a follow up on the Shaw, there are no wide white side borders on the card he sent. It has only a sliver boarder at top, and wide but normal border at bottom. I am not a big fan of the 58 set but have one and what he sent is just a VG- 1958 card. He has not answered my question about why his scans show oddities and differences not present on the cards he ships. He may not answer but will report on whatever he does.

We have seen oddities like yellow squares on cards that look like variants but are just scanner issues. Some of his listings seem like that but the Shaw and some of the others he had up may have been further manipulated. Either way this seller is best avoided if getting the card shown in the listing is your goal

Yep, I ran into that with a 75 Hank Arron #660 card. Had a yellow box on it in the picture but not the card. At least I got another Aaron card out of the mix and did not pay a lot for it.

Al, can you scan the card you received from the eBay dud...e and post it here. My curiosity and nothing more, for the ask.

Butch....
