Need Opinion, Fake Bobby Orr Rookie?
Ok, so this Bobby Orr Rookie came up for sale today.
I contacted the buyer, she's agreed to send me the card via COD so I'm not out any money yet.
The front looks good, some minor corner wear which in this case is good; I'm always suspicious of perfect Vintage cards.
My concern is the back.
The pic she sent me is not great but the white part of the card seems "Too" white.
What do you guys think? Should I go thru with this or send the card back?

Well that was helpful. In my opinion I would say its a fake, the back is much too white. To pass off the fake the seller can just ding the corners slight or take a piece of sandpaper and touch the edges to give the appearance of wear. I would stay away especially when it is ungraded/non-authenticated. Hopefully that helps,
Jason

I'm skeptical on whether it is legitimate or not. Also, COD will not necessarily protect you because you will have to pay before you receive the card to actually check it yourself. Be careful on this one. This one is graded and has scans of the front and back: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Bobby-Orr-196...item2328e0618a.

Its a fake
you can tell because she blurred the back of the photo to hide the RE-printers mark under the stats right here

also if you get a pic thats crystal clear followed by one thats blurry as all get out be cautious. I was going to buy a raw orr from ebay once and then i read about the common reprint marks. thats the most common. If you are going to buy an Orr buy one already graded from PSA BGS or SGC.

Thanks for the feedback, I knew it was too good to be true and my gut was telling me fake the whole time...I cancelled the transaction and reported her to Kijiji. (Card was posted on Kijiji Toronto)
