A rule of thumb is to avoid buying from someone who can't tell the difference between a clipped corner and natural rounding.

(which may have been done with a poor scanner) shows a distinct grain, which I don't think should be in the picture.

In my opinion, the card is highly suspect. The edge and corner wear is not consistant with vintage wear. Corners wear was usually consistant. Even if the lower right corner wasn't clipped off by scissors (and surface scraped with fingernail for additional effect), how would the lower right corner be naturally and heavily worn down while the lower left corner stayed razor sharp?

Thanks. Since I'm not the only one who's suspcious, I think I'll stay away.
