The story she got from the guy was that he found it in the flooring of an old house that he was either tearing down or refurbishing. Although she was somewhat sceptical as she has heard horror stories of fake cards, she took a chance and bought it. She first sent it to SGC where they authenticated it, but they were afraid to slab it due to the possibility of the left side coming apart in their slabbing process. She then sent it to Beckett and they were able to slab it. It made for a wonderful birthday present. Wife and card are both keepers. It by far is my most prized card and plan on passing it down to my son.

Frank - I remember that card raw on eBay. Glad it went to a happy home!
