Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>edited to correct my post.<br /><br />I was thinking it could be from the A35, but its the A36 I was thinking of...

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Frank - intriguing. Does anyone have a bigger image of the page from the Goodwin A36 album? The image I scanned in has a red frame around it and I can't tell if that's present in the album page.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>The texture of the edges in the enlarged pix indicates it's an original card that had it's Old judge strip at the bottom cut<br /> off (traces of this strip are evident).<br />I have had a few such N162's and several also had their backs de-laminated. De-laminated backs on these cards are not<br /> unusual. As many of the N162's were glued in photo albums and in the process of removing them, their backs separated.<br /><br />It is definitely not a "cut-out" from the A36 album<br /><br />TED Z<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/champions_2.jpg">

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The dark colors (stripe on bat) on the album match up perfectly to the card. Even where it changes from a dark brownish red to a lighter oranger color.<br /><br />Also the texture of the back (waffled) is unusual for a skinned card.
