Bump.
Scan of three 'new' Micks (1963, 1965 and 1966) added to the tally. To answer the inevitable question, I truly have no idea why the '65 is only graded as "authentic." Most people probably read that as altered, but it's not. Someone's best guess was that it may not have straight edges, that it's cut wrongly or something along those lines (possibly on the left side??)? I dunno, because it has always looked fine to me.

Here's a scan of it before it was sent to PSA (God, I wish they would explicitly detail the reasons for the "authentic" label to the submitter!!):

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
