i agree wholeheartedly!

my first instinct was that they are both fake but who knows!

Thanks guys. Well, I guess they go in the "Send To PSA" box. That box is starting to overflow now. May be time to renew membership.
Thanks again,

Here are 2 pics I stole from the interweb. (I hate it when people say interweb )

They both look fine to me. One is just printed much lighter (left) and doesn't seem to have the same pass of color that the right has. That is why the hair is red and not brown as the color pass looks to have not made it or it was the beginning of the sheet where ink is usually dialed in after as the press gets going.

Just my opinion but they don't have that tell tale fake cracking that you see on 99.9% of reprint strip cards.

hmmm the color difference is interesting and maybe that last pass is what caused the less defined nature of the card on the right. Leon's examples have the clarity of the one on the left but the color of the one on the right.
