Here's what I think is a good one I have had, now I'm not so positive but still think it's ok, and one of them from Jon. I lost my 10x but they both look pretty similar under a 6x. The dot patterns look the same and the white border areas don't have any dots in them. The gloss is even pretty close. However, the newer looking one does not have black "ink looking" spots in the background, from the old film (maybe), and the telltale white spot next to his head has been filled in. It also looks a little too dark in some areas compared to the real one. The back is printed the wrong way but I've seen that on many other cards too. The card's have about the same thickness. Quite honestly from these I don't blame the grading companies for not grading them. I do think the ones from ebay are suspect but I am not as sure as I was before I held the other one next to it(them). My wife thinks the newer looking one(s) look too white on the borders, too dark in the pic area, and don't have those little black squiggly lines (dots) in the shaded areas. I'm surprised it's this close though....regards
