I'm not going to bid again as this is already out of my budget for its quality, but i did want to say:
Seeing this card (more for condition than for subject) in a slab makes me feel a ton better about the way I collect. I like well-loved and worn cards, they have lived a full life and (to me) deserve to be protected for their own posterity as much as anything else. I just submitted a bunch of loved cards to SGC for authentication and appreciate a company thats willing to encapsulate as 'authentic' even though its obvious that the card falls well below any numerical grade (yes, i believe that's the case here as well, and I know I'm going to get 'playground flogged' for saying so, oh well such is life, lol). I am very optimistic that all my cards will come back as at least an 'A' and seeing this card gives me great hope! I am in constant fear of being duped on raw cards, and have been lately leaning towards the 'already slabbed' just for this reason. But -yup, I say it again- seeing this card also renews my faith in the 'mastiff-loved' and all those other paper products of a lesser condition.
didnt mean to write a book, sorry...
