Scott: the Wheaties ad has been cut off (grading companies almost always ignore this)and all dentils have also been cut off (grading companies often do not notice this).

It is a beautiful card. Like the w514, I do not think that we should try to assess the preferences of a kid more than a half century ago. All choices regarding what should be included and what should be cut off were made by the original eater of this crap. If he had to suffer through the soggy mess his mother put in front of him - he should be able to choose how to cut out his hero without our belated value system applied to his selections.

It was right for him, therefore it was a 10. The degree of preservation is fantastic. By all reasonable criteria it may still be a 10. But under the slab cops regime, it is a 1.
