Default Is this real T200?

Hi Pete,

Doesn't look good.

Originals; The edges tend to curl upward due to the albumin contracting with time (Similar to the OJs). The face is a heavy gloss but the stock is thin and delicate. The brittle top surface tends to craze rather than crease. There appears to be just two layers of paper stock on my examples.

I don't see these common traits in your card.

Your text layout and style matches the originals.

That left back corner has peeling on the surface as if it's a three-layer card as well.

Luckily, your seller has decent feedback.

Reading the ad, this guy is deceptive. "Original, but can't guarantee it -no refunds?! Note the space between the trainers elbow and the inside border "
