This is as early as it gets with Beckett. They graded 12 cards in house to test the slabs before they ever graded a single card for the public. This is card #0005 from that test run. I bought this card from Leon who bought it from Mark Anderson.
I also bought serial #007 personally from Mark. It also has Jim Beckett III as the card. Mark couldn't remember for sure but thought 3 or 4 of the 12 cards graded in testing was the Beckett card.
