for 985? I think you can find a better one and graded.
The triple-fold looks horrible and the tape on the back.
Looks fake to me, but i cant tell.. the white letters in NY and his name are too white i think? and the black line on the top?? It just horrible for this price...no matter if its real..I say PASS.

Looks fake to me and, like Chris said, not a great deal if it is real.

It does not scream fake to me, although that certainly doesn't mean it is real. I have a much nicer PSA 1 and think I maybe spent $1100-1200. At this price, even if real the card is not worth it.

You look at the sellers other auctions and they all have clear pictures!
BUT the one that should doesn't, that says everything!

The backside shows very narrow white edges along three sides. Looks to me like it might have a photocopy of a genuine back glued onto the back of a common reprint. Maybe taped up to make it look less obvious. You probably wouldn't know for sure until you got it in hand, and then it would be very apparent, and a little too late.

If you look at his feedback, the card was sold once before and the winning buyer returned it. Left positive feedback because the seller refunded his money, but the buyer obviously returned it for a reason. Maybe saw something he didn't like? Maybe realized the card was fake once he got it in hand?
