It's hard to have sympathy for someone who won't do even a minimum amount of homework on this card. At least the one I pointed out a couple of weeks ago was a dangerous fake--a copy of an actual card rather than a reprint and slabbed (although by a non-standard TPG). Here this card just screamed bogus.
Agreed. Beyond that the card looked ridiculous -- who could buy the excuse for not getting it graded? Why do people spend 5K on a card with no research but will spend an hour thinking about a $20 lunch?
