The issue isn't scans versus pictures, obviously, as both can be adjusted. Intentional or not, it's hard for me to believe the hobby's biggest AH is not aware of the character of their pictures and the fact that they are relatively, shall we say, bright.

On the subject of 52T Mantle colors, what up with this one?

If that card weren't in a holder, I would bet a thousand bucks it is fake. But since it's in a bvg holder, I would only bet $500.

Sgc was behind by 50% yesterday, but just passed the PSA.

Maybe the quality card will win out. I saw both at the national and it was clear the sgc card was a lot nicer. Not that it's not from the scan. But my initial prediction could be wrong if potential bidders got a chance to see both in person over the weekend.

The SGC card now leads by just over 15%. I'm thinking that'll hold, as long as we're making predictions.

I have never seen a fake card in a BVG holder.

I was joking Leon.
