How did I get this for so cheap?

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.

I am of the opinion it's sort of trolling when someone just throws that out there without the opinion being asked for

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....

If you don't know if those are legit or not, then you best not give any advice....that is all I can say. I am trying to help the OP. I suggest you get familiar with the hobby.....

Looks like color added to crease, and green color added to scuff in grass.

You don't know either, but at least I'm not claiming that I'm 100% correct.

He said its in hand. If you can't tell a fake without PSAs word, maybe it's you that needs to learn something

yes, little Matt...



Enough of the peanut gallery talk....the OP wanted to know why he got the card cheap. He got the card cheap because with the scans he showed, the card looks fake. The washed out colors should be obvious to anyone who is familiar with the issue. If you are not, then I showed scans of what the colors are supposed to look like. He said the card is real. Congrats to the OP on the great deal.

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.
