quan - You're suggesting a reprint doctored to look like the real thing wouldn't be called a counterfit? |

I think this is bad because of the difference in the color of the paper from the front to the back. Could I be wrong? yes but I would bet on me on this one. |

quan - thanks for entertaining the question, but I think you're missing my point. The auction is over and done with and clearly we knew not to bid due to the flags. |

It's a counterfeit, or it's two different scans. The front is almost certainly m101-5, and the back is m101-4. No way you have a toned front with a white back like that. TSN cards are not toned like that either, so if he tried to photoshop the back to look more yellow, that would be another sign. I am unaware of any authorized (licensed) reprints of m101-4, so this is a case of two "cards" being scanned, printed, and melded into one through a re-back, or, as I mentioned, it's two separate cardscans. Either way, it should be even more obvious once the "winner" receives it, although it is obvious now also. |

I guess if you have the money to spend $600 a pop for Star Wars action figures and $200 for Albert Pujols shiney cards, you can throw away $3500 on a bad fake Ruth card.... |
