Let's say this card was real whats it worth $10. I mean these people are unreal!!

This guy should be a writer the way he came up with that whole story.

The seller knows his card is a reprint because of the wording he has in his listing. Also, he has bought reprints of cards recently.

It wouldn't surprise me if the seller bought this card as a reprint and then artificially "aged" it and now is trying to pass it off as "possibly" real in hopes that somebody who doesn't know the difference will spend soem real money on it.

Since he aged it with shoe polish, he figured the shoe shine box story would fit.
