Dear Charles, as others have stated, the perforations explicitly guarantee this Hodges' authenticity, rather than put it to question. The sheets of cards were die-cut with many tabs to allow easy detaching, and perhaps assist the individual given the task of placing a "free prize card" in each bag or large tin of Dan-Dee's delicious potato chips.

In addition, each Dan-Dee sheet was sprayed or somehow coated with paraffin to protect the cards from absorbing the potato chip grease, as well as to prevent the inks on the cards from adhering to the chips. I might add that PSA will NOT authenticate a Dan-Dee if the tabs and the paraffin coating is absent, or was stupidly removed!

So, if you want this great card of Mr. Hodges, "get on the stick" and make yourself well-prepared for dickering or just buy the beauty, one of Gil's best cards, if I may say. --- Brian Powell
