Would like to actually see the card in person to verify that it deserves this grade though.

I've seen the Alcott card, it's incredible looking. If I remember correctly, it was pulled from a pack, then right to the grader. I thought about purchasing it at one point. The asking price was basically all of the money I had. I sold an old car, so money was just burning a hole in my pocket. Alcott was also high on my OJ wantlist because he's the only Mansfield player in the set. More of his cards show him with St Louis.
