How did I get this for so cheap?

You claim the card is 100% authentic, but it doesn't look authentic. The colors look too washed out. Maybe that is why you did so well - because it is a worthless reprint.

It looks ok... You'll know soon enough. If it's real you got a great deal!

Stuff ends up up and down on ebay...just how it goes. See recent thread on ordinary commons that sold for a lot more that they should have. Probably fine. You didn't ask for opinions on authenticity...I am of the opinion it's sort of trolling when someone just throws that out there without the opinion being asked for.

Did you notice that most of the cards he sells are all $1-$15? I hope the card is real, but tons of feedback doesn't always mean the guy is legit. You got a nice price if it turns out to be good, congrats.

He asked why the card went so cheap. I told him why and clearly stated the reason why. That should be a major concern for the OP. If you think I am a troll for trying to help someone out, then so be it.....

Bobby, why do you think it's fake? 1941 PB cards have a washed out look to them. I don't see any obvious indicators from the photo or the auction.

1941 Play Balls DO NOT have a washed out look to them...let me show you a couple of pics of what the colors are supposed to look like....these are in the PSA 1-2 range....





If I were the OP, I would get that card graded as soon as possible. That way, if it is deemed a fake, he can get his money back. No sense in paying $200+ for a card worth $5 at best.

I'm not sure those are legit....

Those are actual photos I took of the card here at home. I compared it to my other 41 play balls and it is completely real. But it appears it does not picture well in the auction and my pics. It kinda looks like a reprint on photo but as I hold it right now it looks a lot better than the pics, it's real though no doubt.

"Because it's a worthless reprint"

That sounds like a statement confirming that you're correct.
