I purchased three of these "Sharp" cards at a local card store a number of years ago. The third was a Luke Easter that got mangled in the ink removal process. The collection they originated from all had writting on them. I was interested in a Berra, Dickey, and Feller from the group. I bought the Rosen, Reynolds, and Easter fairly cheaply. I wanted to gauge how effective such services were before I committed to the more expensive cards. Although the work was well done on the the two survivors I decided not to purchase the pricier cards. I had no intention of grading them and feared the risk outweighed the reward. That coupled with my lack of interest in the cleaned cards dissuaded me. Although I think the two cards I'm selling are pretty I have no attachment to them as i know their history.

I am an honest guy and cleaning these felt somewhat dishonest. I know that although I disclosed their past future owners may not be so scrupulous. If they they ever get slabbed I'm sure that history would evaporate. If TPG companies disclosed their history on their slips they probably would move just as fast as they are now.
