I think I bought a fake...

I would get Insurance and DC. I had something like this happened to me and if not for the insurance I would have been out the money. USPS never showed my return package as delivered and said it was lost, I waited 90 days and they then paid my insurance claim.

you could always point him towards this thread and he can read for himself why it is bad.

By the way, looking at the fuzzy colors and the weird creasing, this doesn't appear to a be a reprint; it's actually a counterfeit. Someone is using a printer to generate the card, probably with malicious intent. Maybe you should ask your seller where the card came from...

ALWAYS get insurance AND delivery confirmation on this. Without DC, he could claim he didn't get it. You'd likely get paid for the item if it was insured but if the carrier claimed he/she delivered it, it could get ugly. If you don't do insurance and only do DC, if it isn't delivered, you don't get paid. $5.00 should easily cover it. I'd insure for $100. Two dimensional scans can often be misleading..........

Have to make sure you get a refund. Also I don't collect t206's primarily but just looking at the size of the letters one can see its fake. The last name and first letter of the team will always be bigger font wise then the rest. IE:
COBB DETROIT
Good luck dude.

wow, you're right. I had never noticed that. I missed a lot of obvious signs on this one. Thanks a lot to everyone for the advice. Seller has agreed to give a refund and I opened a case with ebay buyer protection, so everything seems to be going well.
