prewarsportsEverything I have owned from CTA has been vintage and legitimate and I have never seen a counterfeit card in any of their holders. I cant tell from the picture if it has been trimmed, but I would be willing to bet the card is at least real. I do not have any CTA graded cards currently but I always thought they did a pretty decent job and I have never heard anything bad about them.
As for the story, I have heard crazier things. I had a friend whose father died of Lou Gehrig's disease and he used to tell people jokingly that Lou Gehrig killed his father. Eventually he bought a Lou Gehrig card, the only vintage card he owned, for that reason alone. Seem more far fetched than this persons story, but 100% true.
