Is anyone else seen a Kleinow this before?

Very cute Rank I highly doubt that it's bleached, could very well be scraped off...but sorta looked ok to me. I certainly would have taken a flyer at under $100 just to see that card in person.

Regards,
Scott

Frank,

So you're holding out for the PSA 8 "agner"?

The card is also trimmed.

But I would have bid, except I'm holding out for a Kleino (Boston).

adding bleaching was my edit afterthought... I agree that bleaching is unlikely. It would have taken extreme precision, patience, and about a month.

Scraping seems more likely. And it may well be an innocent scrape. It might be an untampered printing error. But as PC pointed out, if a fellow had Kleinow, bought this Leinow, then he'd be dissatisfied until he finally found himself an affordable Kleino.

I may well eat those almost words up there if it turns out legit. But seeing it identified as some new error by a slabbing company won't convince me that it is legit... Hopefully, someone here bought it, and can post us a good scan of it.
