Yea, I'd pay it

Looks legit....if someone was going to fake it, they would probably have a centered back.....

Yeah, but a faker might uncenter it just to give it the authentic look. Thank you for your advice! Going to buy it tomorrow!

You should NEVER pay $4k for that card even if it is authentic. I am not sure who gave you this advice, you would need to hit a 4.5~ area grade to command that sort of price and this is miscut (if authentic, I am still unsure).

You don't think PSA would grade this atleast a 5 (MC)

I never buy expensive ungraded cards. Why? Because there is usually a reason why the expensive card hasn't been graded. Some of the time, a seller will send a card to be graded and it will come back as authentic. When I see "authentic" as a grade I immediately think the card has been altered or trimmed in some way. Maybe that's what could have happened with this card and the seller decided to crack the holder and try to sell as a raw card. If I were you and shelling out that kind of money, I would protect myself by explaining to the buyer that you plan on having the card graded and if it comes back as a fake or other undesirable grade like authentic, then you would need a refund.

I recently bought a 1962 Topps Lou Brock RC and the card looked to be mint except for the fact that it is obviously shorter than my other 1962 cards. I hate it when people trim cards and say they are mint. Happens too much these days.

Just my two cents...
