FOr the record, I am a fan of CSG as well. Something about the card in the listing didnt look right to me though. If anything I believed the card to be fake, but I may be wrong. That back looked to me like that crackling you see on "aged" fakes.
I don't blame you. While the card on the CSG site looks good, the card in the listing either suffers from a very bad listing and photography job, a real bad photoshop job....or both.
Might be good, but the tones look much different, and I don't think I could take worse pictures of that slab and card if I tried.
Maybe they forgot to take a filter off their camera.
