Scott, my Duffy (below) was reported to have been found under EXACTLY the same circumstances!! I believe the old house renovation was somewhere in Maine. Wonder if this was from the same "find?" Or, perhaps from the same "story??" I sincerely hope it was true, as I've always loved this card because of it - my very first triple figure $$$ card, haha!

My other two beater HOFers came from two entirely different sellers, but from their almost identical damage (exact same severe trims, and pinholes in the same place), I'm of the belief that they hail from the same old-time collection - which I find cool. Great set!!
