Card doesn't look bad to me but based on the 2006 and 2007 shiny garbage he has previously sold, I would say stay away! |

Dan - the back has blurred printing; like when you make a copy of a copy of a copy. |

The pink guide lines need to be adjusted to the card's print, not the card's borders I believe. |

Jim - is the text on the back of yours as blurry as the one form this listing? |

Jim - yours matches up with the authentic one in Steve's post not the counterfeit one. The distorting of the font on the back of the ebay one is usually the product of making 3rd and 4th generation copies. The font on the back of yours is much smoother. |

I look at the "A" in "(BABE)", it is completely filled in on the reprint. |

Frank - I actually saw a reprint a few months ago that had a fake "wet sheet transfer." The forger just copied the back of an authentic card and in the process copied the wet sheet transfer that was there as well. Of course, the printing was done with a dot matrix and the fake was obvious, but that was a first. |

Obvious reprint. No question about it. The image quality and printing on the front is a clear sign that the card is not authentic. |

That's actually my auction. I was informed by somebody on ebay that this was a pretty hot topic on this site and that I should come here and check it out. I know some of you pointed out that I mostly sell chrome and things such as that, but I still have a few vintage things. I purchased this card off of ebay about 5 or so years ago and the seller guaranteed it as 100% authentic. I don't do any grading at all, so I never sent this in to be graded or to even see if it was real. I had just assumed that this was real like the seller I bought it from had said. I truly believed that this card was real. I am in no way trying to rip anybody off or anything like that. |

Who did you buy it from? The folks on this Board know just about every vintage card dealer and most of the crooks. maybe you have a shot at getting your money back. |

Ending the auction was the correct thing to do, just because the authenticity was in question. However, before you run it through the shredder, please get a second opinion. Either send it out to be graded by SGC or PSA, or find a knowledgable collector near where you live. This board has nationwide reach. Someone who knows their stuff probably lives a short drive from you. |

I'm not going to get it graded because I don't like to grade and don't feel like paying the $99 for PSA just so I can be able to grade. I'm not sure what I'm going to end up doing with it. I may just list it as a reprint on ebay. Not sure though. |

I don't grade either, but SGC will grade it for $35-$50, depending upon value ($35 if it's under $2500, $50 if it's between $2500 and $5000.) No club to join. |

After seeing what everybody on here has had to say, I'm convinced it is a reprint. It seemed as though everybody knew what they were talking about and had a great deal of knowledge on the subject. I'll probably just end up keeping my money and not getting it graded. |
