Nice cards Leon and Jay! Jay, that does look like one of the unconfirmed types Leon mentioned, outstanding image!

Of course, I did not submit the Grip card to Beckett with the other two because it's clearly different, but it also is not an early 1970's TCMA either, which are more fake uncut sheet cards:



I've decided to keep the #5 Grip card since it seems to be the unconfirmed paper type.

Recently got a canoscan based on recommendations in a scanner thread. Most everything I've posted before was with pictures, which creates a white balance problem most of the time. Here's some scans with the grip card between two Beckett graded Fro Joys:




Kawika sent a scan of his authentic #5 Grip on confirmed paper, SGC graded, back in December. Here's mine next to his (Thanks Kawika):



May have mentioned this, but I've been told by someone who would know that the paper is more like 1933 Goudey, less like 1934 Goudey.
