You know, when does this end? A cut-out from a candy box is a card? Ok, I can unerstand Milk Duds because there was a NUMBERED SET of CARDS in that issue. Oh, wait a minute, there wasn't an established numbering system back then. Our culture didn't have an established numbering system until baseball started putting numbers on uniforms and if I'm not mistaken, Cobb didn't have uniform number back at the time that this "ORANGE" border thing was made as a graphic for a box of candy.

I honestly believe that in the true spirit of it all that this thing should have been sent to Hawaii so that it could have been appropriately slabbed and listed on ebay by a seller that is known for such things.

Where is the credibility in SGC slabbing this? If this thing does well in an auction I think I'll start looking for pictures of Cobb, Wagner (et al) and submit them to SGC with titles that might fit. If it has a GREEN border around the picture then I'll ask SGC to slab it as a GREEN border card. If it has a YELLOW border then we'll have it slabbed as a PURPLE border in the YELLOW variation so that I can dupe the buying public into thinking it's a one of a kind RARE collectible item. My only challenge would be to come up with a true PURPLE border photo of the same item.

Stepping down from my soap box and still full of spit and venom over crap like this.
