Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p>In June, eBay seller "run4urdreams" sold about ten W517's. These cards included Grove, Collins, Cochrane and Foxx -- among others.<br /><br />I was the winner of the Grove W517. This card has several characteristics that are different from most other W517's that are known to be real. The card that I bought from "run4urdreams" differs from typical, real W517's as follows:<br /><br />(1) this card has brown dots in the border of the card where there should be only card stock<br />(2) the color portion of the card is slightly smaller than other W517's<br />(3) the font on the card is slightly smaller than other W517's<br />(4) the card has different card stock than other W517's<br />(5) the card was made with a different printing method than other W517's<br />(6) the card is slightly wider than other Grove cards that I have<br /><br />Please click the link below to read the other thread about this card.
