Probably for the same reason 11 is called eleven instead of onety one.
Nice example of Edd Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-02-2012 at 05:44 AM. |

Because in the Roman calendar September was the 7th month and October was the 8th month.

And to add to it, Julius Ceasar and Augustus Ceasar thought they were "Special" and added two months to the Roman calendar, because they could. Hence July and August bumped everything back 2 months...... |

I'm really, really proud of this one, for my '52 set. Paid a fair bit over SMR for it, but totally worth it. I don't know WHAT PSA was thinking...perfect, original colors, sharp corners, dead centered, no gum stains, and not a hint of creasing. The picture doesn't show it, but the gloss is outstanding. It utterly mystifies me they graded it a 6...I've got 7.5s that aren't this good. I'll probably crack and resubmit, once I have a few more worth sending in. I think it'll get at least a 7. Just goes to show, buy the card, not the plastic!
