They say you see something new everyday…
 
It’s time for the “buy the card, not the flip” crowd to shine!

The seller gets an "A" for effort, an "A" for creativity, and an "A" for boldness.

I wonder if the card received an "A" to match the seller...

Card has pretty bad tilt that probably tanked the centering subgrade and the overall eye appeal. Might have gotten a 6 or 7.

Well, he is right about one thing - of all the '84 Mattingly rookies, the Don Russ version is the best!

This seems like a good time to repeat a story I think I've told on these boards before.

Years ago, I had a job interviewing candidates for employment with a very large, well-known employer. This one guy listed a job he held with a company called Leaf in Tennessee. Under "supervisor", he listed Don Ross.

I paused, and then I said - "Don Ross was your supervisor?"

His response: "Well, that was the name we put on all the boxes"


Hand to God, true story.
