Ripper trying to sell Blue Hurricane

I know I've seen these pictures before, but I have no idea who they belong to or if they are even authentic. I'm sure he stole these from someone, so I was hoping the ML community knows who.

Thanks!

I find it very strange that this is the only Summer Uncommon I've seen that off center this bad. I would guess that the card is fake due to that but I could be wrong. I wouldn't touch this card because of the centering.

the one pictured on the board here is nicely centered:

But it is not logical that a person faking one would make it off center. It is logical that, given their track record, CM could have had off center sheets with this set just like they did with all others. The fact that few/none have been seen is irrelevant in that we have such a small sample to deal with. There could be boxes of off center cards that have not yet to come to light.

In any case, considering the price it would be wise to establish its authenticity before buying.

Last year, i bought a blue hurricane who was off center like this one.

It's not the first time that i saw one "miscut" like this.

Well, this one was fake, so I sure hope you checked yours thoroughly.
