Not sure if this one has been outed so here is a heads up.

It is possible that it's just a glare or overexposure? That said, I have this ewing which apprears to be skinned...

I think you are correct Mac.

Ok then. I have not seen that kind of back lighting issue, that I remember. Certainly looks fine from the Goldin link.

Are skinned Mayos supposed to receive number grades?

No, but that one doesn't look to be skinned from that Goldin link right above.

Thanks Leon, I see - that's some seriously deceptive lighting in that ebay pic then!

You would think the seller would scan it or come up with a better picture on a card that he is asking 10k for.

With a very fake signature on the back, too... This one has been known to authenticators forever, although I don't know any more of its history.

Looking at the Ebay listing I was just as disturbed as Leon with a white backed Mayo. Glare happens but that is over the top. Thanks to Pat for looking up history on Goldin and "clearing" this up.

Yup - anybody that knows N300s will look at that picture on ebay and scratch their head. Pretty crazy to list it with that picture for about $10K and not review the listing.
