Your authentic looks about the same as the one that got a grade.... its very oddly subjective, luck of the draw, on these strip cards. I have one that got a PSA 2 grade, very pleased... expected Authentic by default.

From an ethical standpoint, I doubt there is much more circumstantial evidence of someone having another fellow 'collector' bid on their card very high so they do NOT LOSE MONEY... that's why the card has such a ridiculous price on it and is not listed in his entire buy it now inventory, but does have it at card shows. Things got a little nervous when I started asking about it. I know of another big time Ebay seller that befriended me. I thought I had won a card from him in auction, which I didn't, so I told him at least he got more money due to my desperate attempt to win it. He admitted he had someone else bid high, and that he was just going to have to hide it away in his safe. He's not a friend anymore, I don't value that.

Ethics !
