Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Without seeing it in person I would say that PSA is in for some more trouble. Those black line borders are much wider, from the picture, than any of the 30 or so M101-4/5's I have. They need to start putting a little more experience on their "bench" or they will continue to have these issues......best regards all...

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>PSA ended their buy back program. Good thing too, saved themselves anywhere from $700-1500 on this one.<BR><BR>That's a reprint.

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>I vote reprint. It will be interesting to see how PSA handles this problem, although they have removed their guarantee from their website, it is my understanding that they still honor it. They seem to have a particular problem with this issue of cards, having previously slabbed a reprint Babe Ruth.

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>If PSA still has a buy back option, why did they pull the reference from their site??? I would think they would want that known that they stand behind their product. Especially if they really do. Why stand behind your product and not advertise that?? Maybe I am missing something here. Dan.

Posted By: <b>julie</b><p>Reprint. Not only the big space between picture and line, but HUMUNGOUS letters under the picture!

Posted By: <b>JC</b><p>A new seller and a 0 for a feedback rating. Maybe the holder has been tampered with. That alone would keep me away <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>
