or at least it appears to be PSA graded. Bad flip? fake encasing? I don't know but if PSA a slabbed this, well, no sense repeating myself for the 500th time about TPG.

Bad flip and photographed against a white background. Red flags abound!

i honestly don't know if psa did that one, that card is floating in the case, and the card doesn't even look good...usually they have the plastic corners surrounding the card, esp of one that's supposedly worth a ton...buuuuut the cert # matches up, so who knows...card could and should get extremely damaged during shipping being free to move around like that imo
It's definitely poop. I have to believe there is an issue with the auction or the slab. I can't believe PSA would authenticate that.

I agree Leon, I would like to think they didn't, but I have seen color Fro Joys in PSA holders so anything is possible.

Fake card, fake flip, fake or at least wrong holder.
Cert will match, but the real card for that serial number was auctioned by Mastro in April, 2004.

FAKE - here is the actual auction with the real PSA 6 of that card. Someone stole the cert number and created a fake slab and flip! The original was a blank back to boot...

Good, some scumbag created it and PSA didn't slab it. That is a much better ending.

Here's the link to the Mastro Summer 2006 auction for the "good" card (http://www.legendaryauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=64935). Note that while the flip numbers match, they are not the same. In the "good" card, the "S" in "NEWS" is above the dash in "EX-MT". In the bad flip, the "S" is above the "E" in "EX-MT"

Bar codes don't match up either...

WOW! good eyes guys, I don't fool with many graded cards so I do not know the difference between a good and bad flip. I did know enough not to come in with both barrels against PSA when it may have been a bogus case as it turns out. :cool:
