Opinions wanted on card authenticity...

[bobbyw8469]

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place. There is some discussion going on across the street on whether a card is authentic or not. Before I weigh in on what my opinion of the card is, I wanted to get some expert opinion over here. Thank you for your time!

Isnt there a few companies that specialize in this type of thing? Perhaps you might want to try them first.

Trying to settle a debate...I am well seasoned with sending cards to grading companies.

Here is another pic....I am thinking someone used the rejection flip and put a fake card with it.

I don't like it. It looks like an aged reprint to me. I'm certainly not an expert grader/authenticator but it just doesn't look right. Just my 2 cents.

My opinion isn't worth much on post-war, but it just doesn't look right to me. I would never pay any money for it.

The card looks real to me. Perhaps it was soaked in a chemical (to remove the tape?) that washed out the colors.

With that Said, I do believe that PSA just deemed the Mick "Altered"

As a 51 year old collector who started when I was 9, I too have been around a good deal longer than the TPG companies and have my own idea of what a "mint" card is and typically dont need to have someone slab my cards and tell me what the grade is.

My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek as I knew he was running this same poll on PSA's message boards and assumed he might want to actually use their services instead of soliciting opinions from 40 different posters and getting 40 different opinions.

Very GooD Andrew!
I Thought ThaT there MiGHT of BeeN a Tale to This ThaT I havN'T Heard
I Truly meant no harm...

"Thank You fir Excepting My Apology..."

David... However, the Tape is still there?

Bobby, I've seen flips used just as you described.. But, I do think that the PSA Flip is genuine to the Submission of this Card & the Card is a Fake!
Many times PSA has sent back my cards as "Altered", I just think this is one of their ways of SayiN "We're Not Sure!?", jmho though...

But I'm Sure that You have a Bettar Feel fir things...
Having "Boots oN the Ground", so ta speak.
