Is it just me or is Griffey's head wider on the one on the right?

The one on the right looks like a counterfeit to me.

That is what I thought. I would not be suprised if both were fake because of the holder it is in.

I think the left one is real, but the one on the right looks like it's been touched up and lightened, look at the sky and his face, it's brighter. And look to the right of the "rookie" logo, it's looks like the black dots are larger than the one on the left card. And there is a white spot on his collar, but that could be dust on the scanner.

Well, I did a little testing on it, and have this image to show. I didn't resize anything, just moved the right half over the left.

I will refer to the left card in the original pic as card 1, and the right as card 2. I also tinted card 2 slightly green to help distinguish things.

Here are the comparison's I have made :
- The "1989" label on the top is perfect when laid over one another.
- The picture of Griffey's head on card 2 is actually further to the right than on card 1, as shown with a picture of his ear below. That could be why his head appears bigger.
- On card two, the name of Ken Griffey Jr does NOT match up with card 1, yet all of the other text does match up, down to the pixel
- Card 1's label is actually on the card more to the left, even though the text is lined up on both cards.
- There are areas of the card that don't line up, such as his name and RC logo.

Hope that helps some of you.

Here's the mail I got a few days ago, with my College GK #/25 I way overpaid for on a BIN ($13.85 total) that had no picture. I hate it. Each window looks like somebody put the swatches in poorly, and are curved up in one corner.

Can anybody tell me what part of the jersey these prime labeled pieces are? I thought neckline.

Also got this in to knock another dent into my 06 Select Nore project.

Are you a full time student of life?

A much better way of saying unemployed that an old teacher of mine kind of taught to me.

I'm about there. There's not much for me to do right now, things are slowing down with the end of summer. Finding a stable job is hard...

I put together a new sig. It's not a nice graphic or anything, but more to showcase some of my favorite Canes cards.

Any opinions, comments, etc?

That looks good to me. The brick wall reminds me of a t-shirt I had when I was like 12, it had a brick wall with "Miami Hurricanes" in graffiti with that bird mascot they have standing next to it.

Were/are you a Hurricanes fan? That would partially make up for you being a Steelers fan ;)

I actually just made a small change to my sig - I added the effect of making everything look like it's part of the wall.
