No one will ever suspect!

Plus it's $14 in pure profit.

Too be clear I wasn't accusing the seller of knowingly listing a counterfeit card.

Sometimes sellers do not know they are selling a counterfeit item.

I think the obvious answer is, they have counterfeited just about everything, regardless of value. I would trust the look and feel of the card. If you think it's bad, I would send it back for a refund.

^^this^^ It could also be thinner from being pressed in a screwdown for years. I cracked out a PSA 7 Ted Williams that was really thin but real from being pressed.

It is my experience that some of the white stock cards are slightly thinner than the cream stock in 64.

It may also be screw down pressing.

The card is authentic.

I had a dealer show me some blazing gem mint 1964 Topps here at a show in Florida about a year ago…. he wasn’t selling them because he suspected they might not be real as they were very thin. On inspection the colors all looked great but no question they seemed thinner than any 1960s Topps cards I’d ever handled. Don’t remember if the backs were white or cream . This is just information to add to the thread….. and man those cards were about perfect on the corners and centering….. maybe too perfect?? He wasn’t selling and I wasn’t buying and we left it at that.
