Looking at the placement of that pinhole, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Merkle's Boner yet.

That's a pin prick.

I have no dog in this fight, and I definitely have no expertise in this, but I'm betting on the Kid. Looking forward to being proven right--or wrong--though I do wonder if this will end at all. Not clear to me that the grader's word will be accepted by the other side....

Bob, I don't see where anyone won anything. Don't ask "Yoda" for $100. It is what it is. I think it's a $15 card and real, others disagree. Yoda was the original board-op, so he should get some slack in my opinion. Good luck collecting, and enjoy your card.

I have no idea what you mean? He was the original board op? What’s that have to do with being completely wrong? He made a public bet and now is reneging on it. Gone completely quiet and won’t respond to my pm.

I am not reneging on anything. I sent you a PC declaring the bet is on as long as you first post a picture of the card you submitted and the submission form. My bet, as stated, only applies to the 1st scan posted, not subsequent ones. As stated, I will cover the grading cost, so send me a pm with the amount and I will send you a check. If scan #1 card comes back with an A I will pay you the $100 and eat all my Greg Jefferies RCs. If a reprint, well you know.. John Spencer

Because it is the honorable thing to do, I will honor my bet and send you a check by the end of the week. I will say that I got fooled by the 1st scan with all the quirky shading into thinking it was a reprint. The card in the holder has none of the defects shown in the first scan.

I certainly was leaning towards fake myself. Every post blaming it on the photo makes Robert's positive ID even more impressive.
