And 'twas number 2 that got Hammered (get it?)...

So, think about this for a second. The card is nearly identical to the others in the slight tilt arena, but the white thickness on its 'big and bad' side is much less egregious than most of the others, plus it is numerically in better shape (a PSA 9 compared to PSA 8s), so it is a superior card...but the qualifier alone overruled all of that and made it extremely less valuable than its compatriots.

(Yes, I understand this is in no way a perfect example of comparison, but it hits the point pretty nicely.)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
