My humble opinion is that this is probably not authentic.
The main red flag for me is the general blurriness and pixelation of the text on the back when using the zoom feature of the Ebay listing. When comparing it to the back texts of the Chicles in my collection (I don't have a Nagurski) using a magnifying glass to try to replicate the same scale, the text on the ones I have are much crisper and cleaner. The blurriness is probably just a shaky hand, and there's always the chance the pixelation is the result of a low resolution scan, but there is enough doubt and uncertainty on this one that I would never feel comfortable owning it, even if I got it at a very cheap price. I would be haunted by the question of whether it was authentic or not.... |

Sold for $1,250. Someone either got completely robbed or got a great deal.

Yeah, the last couple of beaters I saw sold for around 1500. In a PSA 3.5 or 4 holder..... who knows - 4500? One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the description. I never feel it's a good sign when a seller says: "I don't know anything about x" - not quite as common as this was my grandfather/uncle/etc.'s, but it's right up there.

There were lots of reasons to stay away from the last card linked, but notice how the corner wear reveals white card stock. Thats a dead giveaway. That and the colors are way off. The gray or off white border color is printed onto white stock.

While we're on the subject of the color white. Many sets printed on off-white card stock do not use ink for the white portions of the card image ... they just don't put any ink there and use the card stock for the white color. This means you should always compare the white in the image with the white on the borders. If they are different shades of white, that likely means the white on the image is ink and the card is a fake. jeff |

Visa vie the cropped back photo, a seller selling a genuine Chicle Bronco Nagurski would show the entire card.
