Congrats on the pick up! That card has always been on my wish list...

thats nice..and in raw form....you got some balls to do that. Its also on my RC to-do-list.

Picked it up from a very trusted board member that I've done a bunch of deals with in the past. He offered a full refund if I wasn't happy. I was pretty confident with all the info provided and even more so now that I've seen it. I only collect raw, so if it were in a holder I'd still have to bust it out!

Cards....
 

....in their natural and intended state, free from the bondage of plastic, are not "raw"

Strange
 

Why don't we call cards in holders, "cooked?"

Unfortunately, I would call them "unavoidable.".

Only ten more to go to finish up my set:
