Not the same thing. This card was cut from the original sheet it was printed on. Nothing phony was applied to it.
Die hard, by the book, "serious" card collectors will cry foul. Many others who do not religiously collect by the book and simply want it because it's rare, iconic and famous don't care. Many of them are also rare, iconic and famous. They're also wealthy.
Famous and/or wealthy people collect things because they think those things are cool and famous and some love the attention those things may bring them. They are not the least bit interested that the set collectors and message board regulars are having fits.
