Is this possible

[theshleps]

I thought this card came out in 1987 and he died in 1986? Did it come out earlier? Also the 2nd card- is it a 1988 Dover or a 1972 TCMA. Any ideaaa Greenberg 1987 All time greats.jpg

aaGreenberg 1988 Goudey reprint or could be 1972tcma.jpg

In '86, it was just a flesh wound

He died of cancer in September 1986. A few possible solutions:

-these cards were released in August 1986 (like a car model year) or before and he signed a few of them before he passed away.

-Hygrade asked the living players to sign a few when they were producing them but before they released them.

-it's a fake and PSA/DNA missed it

I draw zero conclusions but just a few thoughts about the card.

If I was going to bet, I would bet on C

that's up to you. I was just giving other possibilities that are equally as possible as a PSA error. Not enough info in a quick search to see when the set was actually released.

I couldnt find out when they were released. If it was 1986 or 1987? I researched the 1936 Goudey reprint further. It seems most were 1988 Dover reprint tho there were some 1972 TCMA. I won't be reunited with that card so I won't know until late October which mine is- hopefully a 1972 and not a signed from the grave 1988.
This still leaves the Hygrade baseball all time greats in question.

“Equally as possible”?? LOL. Just because you come up with three possibilities, that doesn’t mean each them is equally likely to be true.
