Default Strange looking Cobb

Please give me the reasons why this card is real--- or is it? Looks bogus to me and what a weird SGC slab.

Looks like a scanning/scanner issue.

Definite "cheap scanner" issue. I should know, I have one! I think the problem lies in the backlight correction of the scan. It will make the image much brighter and washed out than it really appears "in hand".

Definitely appears to be an issue of someone not knowing how to adjust the settings on their scanner.

Thanks men! Even made the slab look like some of the serial #'s were missing!
