CraigPlanet of the Apes movie Auto Question
Hi all-
I recently picked up a David Warner auto from a very reliable ebay seller, but when the card arrived it looked a little fishy. The finish is dull, like a color xerox, and doesn't match the surfaces of the other autos I have from the set, which are all nice and glossy.
I know it's possible Topps added Warner to the line up late and had to print this card differently than the others, but I'm worried it may be a fake. Does anyone have the Warner as well as other POTA autos they can compare it to?
Thanks for any insight!

CraigThanks for any tips.
Visually it looks OK- it's just very obviously not printed like the other POTA autos that I have, and that's what concerns me...

archifouHe returned the cards later so Topps didn't have the time to coated them for the release. Mine is the same as above. No gloss finish on the surface and got the card when the set came out.

cardaddictTo second archifou, mine is the same, no gloss, looks just like the one pictured, and I also bought (or pulled it, I don't remember) when the set was first released.
