So let me get this straight. They can never slab a card that hasn't surfaced before, so no one-of-a-kind card can ever be slabbed? Therefore, the second example to surface will get slabbed, but not the first. Now I'm even wondering if they even keep a picture of my card, in case another one does ever show up.
Seems to me there should be enough evidence of age, wear, materials, ink, style of printing, etc, to give them enough confidence to slab this card, but I guess there must be some legal reasons for them not to.

Hank, what is the size of this card? Is it heavier cardboard type?
Joe
