Yeah, trimming at the top with the roughness plus the little bat ear on the right edge kept me spooked for my hour of indecision until I said the hell with it, got to take a chance once in a blue moon, and pulled the trigger. Even if it comes back authentic I figure it is probably worth $500 and the adventure is priceless.

Whenever cards looked trimmed to me, I try to get a good view of the corner and look for the "bat ear", which is almost inevitable with a slight trim. This card has that telltale sign on the top right corner, which you can see great in the scan provided. So I'd say it is more than likely trimmed

I am also quite tired of Flo...

At times I think we all obsess too much about perceived value per a catalog and forget that these cards are really only worth what they are to one person that day.

I congratulate you on finding something that you enjoy and if that happens the cost be damned!

If you like it and it's worth the money to you, then sometimes you just gotta say WTF

I am probably wrong; however, think the card stock is too white, the red is too uniform in color, and McGraw's portrait looks washed out. I vote fake.

Best regards,

Eric

Edited to add that it could be the scan.

Top right corner looks suspicious. Any way to post a pic of the back? Hope it's not a blue Sweet Cap back.... just kidding....
