Sheesh - SGC should take 3 seconds to line up their checks so it is clear whether they are trying to check counterfeit or altered. It looks to me like that check was intended for the counterfeit circle.

How about checking the flip on the Cardsaver? It says "ALT" in very large letters and they checked the "Altered" box.

But they should have checked "counterfeit." I mean I guess it is an altered fake.

Jobu was under the impression that SGC thought it was counterfeit. I was not under that impression, and was trying to explain it to him. SGC got it wrong. Happens with TPGs all the time.

It has been on eBay before, notice that even the front is off. In this copy part of his left front foot is cut off, on authentic copies you can see his left cleat.

Nice catch.

I'd guess it's a realphoto postcard with the image removed and a new one printed on.

Not sure that having a flip means that they shouldn't take 3 seconds to be clear what they mean on that details card. Also, if the grader did the sloppy check and someone else created the flip, it could be that the grader meant for this to be kicked as counterfeit but the person creating the flip didn't know what that floating check meant and picked (the wrong) one rather than asking.
