Leaf Paige on eBay - Buyer Beware
This Paige, ending in an hour:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=121055752896 has off center printing that looks an awful lot like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Satchel-Paig...-/380564395242 And the seller, while clearly aware of grading has chosen not to have his graded and has a clear 'as is' policy. I can't tell for certain it's no good, but looks that way. Buyer beware.

Did you check out who the seller is? LOL It's the Detroit pawn shop that is featured on the "Hardcore Pawn" television show. I know the show is just scripted BS, but it is just a trainwreck of the shop owners getting into arguments and lowballing customers on every episode.
Edit: Seems weird that a pawn shop has as many sports cards for sale as they do. Oh, and they also have a $6,000 Babe Ruth autographed ball for sale -- as is -- for anyone inclined to buy their $6,000 Babe Ruth ball from a pawn shop. Last edited by Bored5000; 01-26-2013 at 06:59 PM.

I don't know if they are both the same or not - as I said in the post, the off-registration on both looks to be identical, which is against the odds given the number of printing plates involved, but certainly possible. You're right...maybe I'll bid...

With red coloring on unusually white corners. Sure you will.  Edited to add: That's a tough one though. I'd say 50/50 chance of it being real. Last edited by MW1; 01-26-2013 at 06:55 PM.

The registration similarities are a very bad sign. In addition to that, the edge wear is EXTREMELY suspicious. The cardstock that has been worn away is usually much darker (sans redish tint) and the way the edges curl up slightly is a sign that it might have been worn down unnaturally.

Not the same card in my opinion. I can't make a decision on real or not though.
