Does anybody have any information on this RARE Hank Greenberg card. I've never seen it listed on Ebay before. The auction just ended at over $600.00.
I understand SGC grades this issue. Any idea what the value would be in this shape if graded?

IMHO grading it will not make a huge difference in the price.
Ive owned a few of these, but never the Greenberg. they all have been EX+++ and sharp. Might be from the same find????
I agree, its not going to jump if graded.
Its one of the tougher cards for the Hank Greenberg collector, and thats probably where it should end up.....

I sold a Tommy Bridges on ebay a while back, of course price wasn't this high.
They are difficult and hard to find.

Bridges seems to be the most common player, Ive had 3 of them and seen a few others too :)

I agree, these are very tough to find. Although there is a Hal Newhouser in the SCBC checklist, it is now believed that none exist.
