Unclear if it went through eBay authentication or not, PSA didn't veto my deal but it didn't come with a slip, the paper certification, the sealed wrapper, the blue folding box or anything else; it was just the card loose in the box. Another complete waste of time, money and effort from this absurd program. Maybe PSA can't figure out if oversize SGC slabs are real slabs or not.


Great card from a great set. Back in the early 2000's I BIN'd a really clean set (or very close to it) of these on Ebay, and drove up to Albany, NY to pick them up at a card shop.

I think they sat there on Ebay for weeks before I pulled the trigger on them.

Sold them off shortly after. I don't think they are super rare, but I don't think I've had even another single since then.

I love the over-sized tobacco cards and the great litho work on them.
