In checking ebay for the history of that card, I noticed that you won it the first time. Did you receive the card and actually look at it under a magnifier? I only ask because even though I agree that you have more expertise on this subject than any grader at any of the major grading companies, the fact that it is slabbed means that at least two people (and their "double-checkers" if such a thing exists)thought it real enough to slab. We all know that anomalies occasionally pop up in the vintage card world, and it is always exciting - I would want to actually hold a card and view it under a magnifier/or microscope before passing judgement, especially if the card in question was being "accused" of being related to "my" set. It sounds like you had just that opportunity and might have passed on it.
