OK, not pre-war, but what grade would you guess this is? I know it's impossible to tell, just looking at the back, but will show more later....give me your best guess as to what grade this is?

Assuming that the front has been clawed out, marked over with whitewash, stamped on by a dirty cow, stapled thrice with rusty staples and had 10 year old use it to do his algrebra homework in an extra-thick jet black sharpie, I would say it grades minimally an Ex-5

Of couse with that whitewash, you might just be able to market it as an enamel proof-- so I'll change my grade to a minimally Near Mint 7.

Although, many great opinions have been expressed on this board in the past regarding grading and grading companies, this is fast becoming a dead issue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you just going on and on in another thread about grades and Beckett and PSA and SGC and GAI and blah, blah, blah, blah. This is a vintage forum that focuses primarily on discussion relating to pre-WWI & WWII baseball issues. If we aren't talking pre-war here, then in the immortal words of Clark Gable: "Frankly, my dear...I don't give a damn!"

>I am NOT currently seeking a job, however I will consider short stints of slave labor in exchange for some vintage issues (T212 150 sub, e107's, etc.)<

You know, the more I look at it, that kid's handwriting looks a lot like Babe Ruth's, and those rusty staples look an awful lot like Ruth-era.... How much are you asking for this card again?

I'm man enough to admit when I've been fooled. I didn't expect of the front of the Clemente to look like that.

What the Hell? I'm confused. Are you trying to tell me that in addition to playing for the Pirates in 50's-70's, Clemente also played under the alias White for Chicago in '09? Damn, that means that when he was playing for Pittsburgh he was like older then dirt.

but Clemente was actually the first African American to play baseball disguised as a Caucasian.

That's way he used the name White to help throw everyone off. He was a "Doc" maybe he found the fountain of youth and is now Michael Jackson trying to go back to "White".

How about a picture of Vanna White next time we play games?
