You are correct, I came off harsh. My apology for that. I bought a fake card for $600 in the last year with 0 hope of any refund. It was totally my fault. I only wish I could make a $2"0" mistake. ....Mine seem to have more than 1 "0" behind them. I actually have a very low percentage of what I do budgeted for making mistakes. I build them into my business model!!

At any rate, that wrapper is one of toughest ones to be sure of, as to authenticity, in the hobby. Honestly I am still not good at determining the really good fakes. I think I own a few now and am still investigating them. However, the wrapper in the original post is not anywhere close to looking legitimate. The whole thing is way, way too grainy looking. If you have seen enough real ones, or the really good fakes, then you immediately see the poorer quality in the printing of this one. It is way off.....That's why it took 1/2 a second to know.
