    Gretzky Rookie Experts please help

    Found this Gretzky rookie for sale. To me it looks too good to be true. But if it is real I’ll pick it up. Please tell me your thoughts.

    Here are two posts on how to spot a fake OPC Gretzky. That is too nice to be real and if it is real the price should reflect that its real and they should get it graded because thats a $8000 plus card in that condition.

    I'm not an expert but would say there is roughly a 0.2% chance that card is real based on those edges. Either it's a fake card or it has been trimmed - either way I would be very very wary

    Looks fake to me:

    1. The edges for an OPC card of that era are wrong.
    2. The colour on the back is right, but I don't see any texturing. The cardboard from that era was not smooth. This looks like they've printed brown colour on to modern card stock.
