My wife just picked this up from the post office.
Pardon my French but…
HOLY CRAP!
There are few things in life that are %100. But I think stating this is a dream card of every collector is as close to %100 as you can get in our hobby.
I can wait to get home and check it out.
-K-
Awesome
I think HOLY CRAP is an understatment. Congrats!
Why is it marked authentic?
what do you mean?
“Authentic” grade, means it has been altered in some way. Usually the card has been trimmed or re-colored, but is still an authentic card. This is what I was told by someone at SGC when I purchased a Ty Cobb a few years ago.
Yup. The top right corner appears to have been slightly trimmed, hence Authentic versus a number grade.
Sweet! Congrats!
Whoa! Is there a story behind this I missed?!?
That is like the top of Everest, except for maybe the Wagner, but I think that’s like the top of the highest mountain on Jupiter.
This is one of the last pieces of my dads quest to get every Topps baseball set abck to ’52.
Ah, yes, I see. Yeah, that is awesome. Definitely every collector’s dream. And it’s in pretty decent shape, too.
Pure awesomeness. I’m happy for you.
Not bad, congrats on an amazing card!
