The whole upper section of the holder is frosted. Wow.

I saw this right before the posting of it here and didn't look close enough at it. After the font was pointed out to be wrong, it does in fact look pretty bad. But for any novice this could be a problem. The seller looks to be a good seller too. :o

Bingo! It is an authentic Jordan Rookie. There's no doubt about that. But it's obviously been swapped out. Judging from the gap between the card and the top of the gasket, my guess is that the card is trimmed.

My thoughts exactly. The card in question:

I own one did quite a bit of reasearch on them about 3 years ago. This to me, looks fake, the easy tell is the arrow next to the word premier. Real ones have the arrow with a darker color yellow, fakes the color is the same. Im looking in my iphone, but still dosnt appear real. That arrow is supposed to be alot darker.

My concern is that this card is no way a 9 with the edge wear to the right side, and yes, the case definitely looks tampered with. Has anyone reported this card on eBay yet?

The link that T has posted now shows that the auction has been ended early by the seller.
