What do you think? I want to buy my son a lower grade Jackie and was about to put in an offer when I noticed this card looks "off" by the scan. After comparing it to my card, I noticed several issues. First, the skin color of the players on the back has rich detail on my card, this looks faded to nothing. The borders around the stats are BRIGHT red on my card, this was dull to fading. The Green color in the box that houses the "Major League Batting Record" ect is a MUCH darker green, as well as the green backdrop for the cartoon. Switching to the front, now that I have seen all these color changes, the brim of his hat and other places looks a bit pixilated. Also all the typed words look somewhat faded and not bright and bold like mine.
Again, maybe its just a bit faded with time...but man it looked off. It looks really off when I hold mine up to my computer screen. Thoughts??
