I'm being told it's a reprint, but it sure looks real ... opinions ?

scan's a bit small...but suspicious enough. If they're telling you it's a reprint...I'd believe them!

i'd guess a high resolution scan would make this card...an obvious reprint to the trained eye...it looks grainy!

The #1 rule in buying cards is that if something is being sold as a reprint, believe it.

Bernie, as the others said the scan is too small to know for sure. However, the borders are way too short regardless of whether the card is real or not.

Agreeing with the others. Text is clearly not brown, L eye shows no white and the finger shadows are too dark.

Yes Bernie, Damn good looking counterfeit. Sadly, this one will be back and sell as an original some day.

Yes, it is trimmed at least. Probably a reprint as well. I agree with what other say; if it is being sold as a reprint, believe it.
