I do have my doubts though. Spelling aside if it was legit why didn't the seller grade it first. Even a centered 6 is a 3k card.
those were my exact thoughts at first. Then upon looking, he never really sold many cards and everything he sold was ungraded. My thinking was maybe he got into this before grading was a thing and is now selling them as he bought them or collected them. That is my hopes at least. But what scares me is the too good to be true thing. But then I think, HEY someone else was willing to go $1250 haha.

I might have taken the same gamble. Only one way to find out for sure now. Best of luck. Let us know own how it turns out.

A fool and his money are soon parted. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. Sure, once in a while these things work out, but if it were me I would not gamble, neer mint or not. PS it looks short but that could be confirmation bias.

What is on the back in the upper right corner? And the dimensions seem off also (too square)

Put me in the "no chance it's real" camp, unfortunately. Also looks like he shilled it pretty good.

Seen some perfectly good looking 52 Topps for sale last night and on closer inspection, they all looked pale/spotty with the pixels.

Looked further down the link for some info about reprints etc but none was found.
There was a link about collections/cards, money, coins etc so I wrote them via their "contact us" link and low and behold, I received an "Undeliverable" e-mail back.

Not sure if the cards were being shilled, but there sure were a lot of bidders for these pristine looking 52 Topps cards!

Looks off like I said in the bst section . The name is off and it looks printed over the cardboard . A real card will always look like it's printed into the card . You you collect other just compare it to them .

You're probably right but as the decision to buy was already made it seems his options are to try to return it now, or send it in. On the off chance it's real, might as well find out now.
