thanks guys. this was the exact conclusion I came to as well. I tried searching for the original card/flip but couldn't find it! thanks to all.
I have told this individual it was a fake however he is still shopping it and attempted to sell it off to a buddy of mine (emmitt)
several things that stuck out like a sore thumb were: the overall font, spacing, the "8" in 1980 isn't level, the two "PP's" in topps.
I asked him to do the light thru the flip test as well and never got any communication afterwards.
again thanks to all and for the leniency of being in this forum. this one just get's more eyes and these are the opinions I value!
