Sorry to hear, Adam.

I was watching that one as well when you won it.

I don't recall, but was that from a CDN seller or an American one?

American seller.

Like I said, USPS shows it delivered to my house on the 28th. I guess I will have to go out there and literally beat the bushes and see if the package is in there somewhere.

Hope it shows up for you, Adam.

Good luck.

My USPS problems usually come with substitute carriers, in case that would somehow help you know how your package got lost. Things have been almost flawless with the regular ones. But a couple days ago, the second most valuable package I've ever had coming was left about six houses down b/c of a number written on the box that was a little different than the street address # (but the carrier took it to that house number). With the tracking # then marked as "left with individual", despite how no one accepted it or signed for it.

I had to drive around the neighbor streets hoping to run into the mail truck, cause I knew as far as USPS records were concerned, it was delivered and done with. Luckily I passed by it and we quickly figured it out.

We came back to the target house and it was still sitting there on that porch -_-

Hoping no one in here happened to have bought this 1960 Stan Mikita card on ebay last month, looks fake.

I'm not familiar with these cards at all so I am not questioning your knowledge, but what, in your opinion, leads you to believe it is fake?
Both cards exhibit the same front print marks so "my guess" is just the scans are making it look different/unauthentic to you?

My first hockey card pickup in a little while. It looks better in person. If I could just figure out the best scanner settings to use...

Here are a few examples:

The first time I looked at the card I saw the print bubbles match up and assumed it was real. But because the seller also sold a fake mantle, baseball card and Roger Staubach, I decided to take a closer look.

You can see a huge difference in the top left corner, a medium difference in the bottom left corner, and a substantial difference in the centering of the bottom right corner.

The seller appears to be buying 3rd party cases, printing his own PSA labels and putting in lower quality (probably real) cards.
