I'll have to go back and check where I pulled that date from. Maybe I just misread it. But it certainly makes what he accomplished all the more impressive.
When these cards are graded, they still receive the W555 designation by the tpgs. Is there something that needs to be done to reclassify them to an "E"?
Steve, great post. I just woke up, so I'll go back and read it after tonight's game. I'm not all there right now
