This one also is misdescribed:
it is not a 'proof', it is the original artwork that ESCO photographed through a halftone screen to make the printing plate for the card. A 'proof' would be a print made from the printing plate to check something about the card. This is a proof:
Is it too much to expect PSA to properly describe the item it is authenticating?
Also, to be clear, not casting shade on Lelands in any way. The description of the Russell does not suggest Topps used that example and the Clay description explains the item pretty well. |
Adam:
The flip is referencing the Bill Russel photo was used for a 1968 Topps basketball TEST SET.
