Default yet another questionable ebay card

Posted By: Alan Zimmerman

seller seems to be fairly genuine in wanting to get to the bottom of it. i tend to think it's a reprint. your opinions?

I would say reprint.The border seems a little to far from the image.

I agree though that he definitely seems to be trying to do the right thing. That's nice to see once in awhile.

I agree about the borders, but more concerned with those corners. They appear squarely trimmed (especially the bottom R) as opposed to evenly worn and rounded. Also the worn corners don't seem tohave the "bent in" corner bunched up, but appear nicely cut. That foxing pattern I've seen on several PSA rejects -I wonder what the crooks create that effect. On the positive side, he's been here a long while and has a flawless rep. If authenticity is guaranteed then it's worth the gamble -cuz hey, it is the Red Sox!

With all due respect this is not a gamble. There is no chance it's real. A gamble is when you actually have a shot at something. This is fake...as long as someone knows it's a fake then go ahead and buy it. The seller is obviously reputable and will be refunding whomever buys it....if they think it's real when they do so....If they buy it as a fake there will be no issue.

Boss, I shouldn't have been so lighthearted and the last line of my post to have been preceeded by "IMHO"... Alan, FWIW I won't bid on this card.

I wasnt for a moment considering buying it. I emailed the seller and he said he thought it was authentic and if I could give him some other opinions to its' authenticity. So, i created this thread and linked him to it. He has gotten back to me and has appreciated the help. But, as of now, the card is still up for sale.

Fear not, I wouldnt even consider buying it, I just happened to stumble across it while on ebay. thanks for all the help guys.

-alan
