Gary that is a beautiful premium and the grade wouldn't do it justice. They should almost grade these large paper supplements differently than cardboard. I am sure not too many exist in high grade. Mine was pulled out of scrapbook and is actual size (hasn't been trimmed) but had some corner tears so when I had it framed I matted the tears out. At any rate here is a better photo there is a little glue on the photo from being glued to a scrapbook. How my Dad got this premium because buying packs of baseball cards would have been few and far between because there was little money in the house. Scrapbooking was an affordable thing to do at that time and my Dad put his scrapbook together while at a boarding school in Cleveland. He was one of the poorest kids at the Academy and cleaned horse stalls to pay for tuition. Some of his friends were from elite families in the Cleveland area including one of the Sherwin's of the painting family. Maybe the premium was given to him by one of the more fortunate kid's or maybe Dad bought the last pack in the store from part of his earnings (he was only 12 years old) and was lucky to get this premium.
