The corners on the back look worn artificially and the registration is not as clear imo. Card stock looks incorrect for period. I would stay away especially if they don’t know what they are doing.

And I certainly do not know anything about these cards. But when my friend has it graded than maybe I can get in if it does turn out to be a real copy.

Best of luck to him. I have been wrong many times and I do hope it turns out in his favor.

He has made arrangements to have it graded at 10:30 local time today.So by noon I will know.
If it is good news he plans on sending me some pictures.He is not concerned with the grade
number. Only that it is real.I hope it works out for him as well.Thanks.

My vote/concern is “10:30 local time grading” might not be reliable.

You were not wrong.Took the grader all of 10 seconds to identity the card as fake. Lesson learned.
Second time my friend was robbed on Facebook. First time was for a Jean Beliveau rookie.Paid
with E-Transfer and received nothing. At least this time he has fake card to remind him of his
expensive mistake.Thanks to all that chimed in with advise/ opinion.
