Is it worth $50 to have graded? I'm getting a lot of yes & no from elsewhere. Would microscope pictures help?

That or a high res scan. 600 dpi is enough to see plenty of detail. I suspect that at that resolution you'll see a dot pattern in the border that shouldn't be there. If it's there, the entire thing was likely printed on a computer printer, cardboard color and all.

I don't think it's good either. It's too faded. It looks like one of those reprints where they try to make it look old. One thing I try to do when I am unsure whether it is good or not is to see what else that seller has. If he has other cards of less popular players from the same set, there's more of a chance it is authentic. If not, then much less of a chance that it's good. Here's mine.

The thing that makes me feel it's not real is the fact that the back is not the same color as the borders on the front. That's a sign that the borders could have been printed when the rest of the card front was printed and they don't match the actual color of the paper stock anymore. Just a thought.
