Spirit57: Zach said that there were "too many red flags", and there are.

These red flags are not proof of the card being a reprint. They are evidence.

As an exercise, name the red flags that you see; in addition to the facts that:

this is the only item this seller is listing

the seller has five sales to date, one of which he got a negative on for selling a fake

the bidders identities are "protected" from honest persons warning the bidders about the fake card

The seller infers that there is a chance that he is selling a $100,00 card for 2.5% of its value (or less). And you are supposed to believe that.

Go ahead .....

Prove to yourself that sufficient circumstantial evidence exists to make an $85 bid = a certain loser. What other circumstantial evidence do you find?
