..Ah memories...I also submitted my 1931 Metropolitan Studios St. Louis Cardinals Dizzy Dean rookie to 'Beckett Vintage Grading' , a confidence-guaranteeing title if ever there was one , figuring that it would of course receive a very low grade , or even the "Authentic" notation up in the flip , due to the expertly done coloring artistically added by an early owner ( the kid even used a brown leather toning to the shoes ) ; because of its size and age and frailty I just really wanted it slabbed in a sturdy Beckett holder for protection ; I was resigned to any grade they decided upon , figuring it was well worth the eighteen dollars submission charge...After scratching their heads for a month they returned it as you see it, in my original plastic sleeve. Kept the eighteen dollars though, but that's okay.
