How is that a 7 ???<br /><br /><br />And then look at the T205 of Hugh Duffy... my old beat up cards look nice enough to me, but when I see the fine cards of the guys on this board, I still don't see a gold border that sharp and smooth on anything other than a T205 reprint. Any of you think that duffy card is pre-Viet Nam War???<br /><br />
