I don't know if this one has been discussed already, but clearly a tampered SGC slab...

LOL, WOW is that ugly. Can even see the glue on the inside of the holder. The card also looks real.:rolleyes:

Yep, a definite crack out/stuff another card in scenario.
The card is so faded/fake looking, I will be surprised if it sells. The seller is good enough to mention a crack out but I guess he is still looking to make a buck on it?

Enough glue to leave a glue fingerprint on the holder :eek:
I think even my 4 year old could do a tidier job.
And that card is a really poor fake.

That dealer is either blind or knows nothing about cards. It is a very bad ink jet home printer counterfeit.
I decided to write the guy and ask if he knows it is an obvious fake?
This is his reply.

"Because I don't collect cards even had a card guy say he believed it was a real card 3 people have looked at it and 2 of them think it's real so I call it unkown The reason I am selling it is to clear out space and make money"

Beyond the tampering concern, looks like the right border has a definite "wow" from a p*** poor xacto knife surgery.

Under the listing's item specifics the card is shown as "original"??, not "unknown.
