wow - good catch Brian. What's scary is that card certainly looks good to me.

I guess I am unaware of the issue to spot the problem. What exactly is wrong with the Magie?

Magie error cards can ONLY be found with 150 backs. The ISA one in question has a 350 back.

Whoopsie!! Did ISA just mislabel the card, or does that mean the card was a fake??

It looked like "Magie" on the front. Not good for a new company. (or an old one)

I didn't have time to save a scan, but it looked like a real "MAGIE" front with a funny looking back.... If the seller posted multiple items and made a listing mistake, he could have easily fixed it.... I don't understand why the auction went away so fast...... Be well Brian



PS one thing is for sure.... They read this board.....

For academic purposes only, here is the proposed fake T206 "ISA" Magie (as was pictured in the auction). I found it, thanks to google cache and subsequently truncated the image to protect the innocent. Looks real to me. Perhaps the colors are a little bit off, but that is nothing new with a T206. The bottom border seems a bit black. Does anybody have a backlight handy???

Any thoughts from the resident experts (even an intern will do)???

Just don't know why there is a need for another grading service? It's not like there's a groundswell of support for one. The "Big 3" is established and I don't think there is room for any more at this point.

I disagree. I think PSA and SGC both have very significant issues, and if someone comes along who can do a better job, more power to them.
