Fine, you "you do't buy it"....I happen to accept it....based on the expertise of the guy (with
respect to these cards) that I heard it from. I don't recall all the details; but, I haven't heard
a better story, since....So, what is your story ?....I take it, if you are skeptical, you must have
another version to this story.

Godoy was no rookie in 1948, as you know, he fought a full 15 rounds with Joe Louis in 1940.
The real mystery here is not Godoy, but the Graziano card. This card only exists with WHITE
cardboard stock. For those of you not familiar with this 1948 Leaf set, it was 1st printed on
WHITE cardboard stock, and in a subsequent printing (in late 1948) it was printed on GRAY
cardboard.

So, we can conclude from this that during the very 1st press run, this card was replaced.....
it's the same old story as the T206 Wagner, Magie or Doyle cards....except this Rocky card
is much more scarce than any of them.
