E95 Plank Authentic or Not?

[timelord]

Greetings everyone. I think I may have blown it and pulled the trigger too fast on this ebay auction. Would be interested in some board member opinions from my esteemed colleagues.
Thanks

I would say it's legit but looks trimmed.

You made a fine purchase. Looks trimmed but great eye appeal nonetheless. Will look splendid in an SGC holder.

Lovely Day...

The back looks too brown to me... Maybe it's just the photo.

I will post a more detailed scan when I receive the card. Thanks for the replies thus far.

I agree with the above - looks totally authentic, but also looks trimmed (at least 2 sides).

Front looks good, but trimmed on both sides. Before looking at other's comments, I also thought it looked like the wrong kind/color of cardboard on the back.

It's real. Definitely trimmed though.

Mine for comparison:

Description of your card from JCG auction and grading service (Jiffy Card Grading service)

" Card presents a superior image of the portrait of Mr Plank, save for a couple small intrusions near the lip and collar areas. Card has excellent color that screams the green green grass of home at you. There is some paper loss in upper right corner, as Duncan the mini dachsund got hungry. Also, some slight back damage caused when glued to a picture of Justin Bieber w Krazy Glue and then removed". Despite these flaws, an EXCELLENT opportunity to acquire an authentic example of this highly sought after piece. Card is encapsulated w a "AD" (Authentic damaged) grade in one of your double layer thick plexiglass holders.

Hope some of you enjoyed that.

NOTE: my little funny post was about the HORRIBLE card Timelord put in his link, NOT the one he just bought, which, like others, I feel is REALLY nice and looks trimmed too.

trimmed, E95s have wider borders than T206
back ink color looks too light but may be OK, front looks good

id get a refund for the fact that the card is so badly trimmed
