Thanks a million. I used to say that myself about the 52 Mick the few times I saw one. I was well into my 30s when I actually even held one for the first time.

Regarding this card's grade, there is a micro-wrinkle in the top left corner that is simply not visible to the naked eye. It takes strong light and just the right angle, and better yet magnification, to really see it.

I am incredibly thankful for that wrinkle (and the asinine, arbitrary grading rules) since it made the card just barely affordable If I can't see the flaw in hand or in a wall display, then I welcome it. I am all about anomalous freak cards that have some flaw that does not at all detract from their eye appeal, but does keep their cost down. They are out there. They don't come up often, but when they do I am all over them. The two times I've encountered such cards were this Mick and my Ruth Rookie. It's a big thrill when you can spend X on a card that looks flat out better than some that cost 2X or even way more!
