[QUOTE=Balticfox;2515431]Looking over this thread, you yourself have been the worst offender in that regard.

I’m just giving what I get. There’s a lot of keyboard warriors on this forum who hurl insults and are just blatantly rude. So If you can’t beat em, join em.

So how did I know it was real? Confident enough to buy it and now sending to authentication just to prove a point. Maybe, just maybe…I know what I’m looking for, hence the name.

Using Rob Gs comparison photo I'll circle the weird shadows on his arms and face. If it's real it's a crazy print anomaly. I mean his jersey stripes literally look like somebody shaded them in with a pencil compared to the 2 examples that are good. His face looks like a mime that went crazy with eyeliner.

I also noticed the before and after photos a black mark on his face disappeared. This card must've been stored in a toolbox.

Looking at the placement of that pinhole, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Merkle's Boner yet.

How is he going to save you $100, your bet was you’d pay for the grading service, and if it comes back an A(which it will) you pay me $100….what am I missing?

That's a pin prick.
