Think it's worth sending into PSA?

I'd say yellow flag as well...perfectly centered and perfectly rounded corners...not great. I like the coloring ok. Worth sending in or at least showing it to others in person.

I said the exact same thing. It sort of looks ok but I can't imagine a perfectly centered one by random. That is near impossible itself. However, that all said, now that I study it more it does seem to be off centered a little top to bottom....still am very suspicious but not 100% (maybe others can be 100% from the scan)

And compared to legit ones on eBay, the font and/or clarity of the copyright doesn't look good, even allowing for the cell phone pic

And what's the reference to Chubb Hookings? That's not on other legitimate copies...

I didn't like the corner wear at all, but the Chubb Hookings text seals the deal on it being 100% fake.

LOL, a new variation!! Case closed.

Great catch Judson.
The fact that the person reproducing this card took the time to make sure people in the future could identify the card as a recent issue was the responsible thing to do.
I understand that reproductions and "fantasy" cards have a place but it is in my view completely irresponsible to issue these items without clearly marking them as reproduction or as a fantasy card.

Smell the paper. Old paper has that "old paper smell". If it's truly vintage, it'll have that mildew scent.
