Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Without the benefit of an in hand inspection, and a black light, I think it is a reprint. I'd not bid on that unless a return policy was in place.

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Dimensions of the image look accurate and the back wear seems authentic. Some scanners do the auto crop thing and it must be the issue. May wanna check the edges for trimming before setting a snipe.

Posted By: <b>fkwt</b><p>Id say authentic. The card doesnt have the cropping issue usually found with T205 reprints. The back looks good too. I wouldnt bid too high unless the seller can provide a better clearer scan without cropping the edges.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>The front of the card looks artificial from the scan, to me. The back looks ok and both front and back are cropped poorly. At first I thought fake now I think probably real. That front looks kind of wacky though....

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>That second round of scans looks pretty good, based on it I'd give it a good chance of being authentic. I'd still want to be sure there's a return policy.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>It's real but isn't it scummy that the seller cropped out corner damage and tried to make the card appear as if the corners were razor-sharp? I could never buy from this guy.

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>I would bid on the card with the new scans. But I would never bid on the original cropped one.
