I wanted to add a couple things that I did not mention in the description, but will revise in the next day or two. Kevin - I referred to a crease in the upper right corner - if you look hard enough you can see a faint wrinkle, not so much a crease, on the front of the card. The card was not rebacked - the paper has unifrom color, a slight touch of moisture staining. I think dad did show it to a gentleman that does remove dirt / stains from cards and felt that the dirt was more suface than staining. Again, the back has very light moisture staining - not a hard stain that one would think would be on the back if the front was actually stained into the paper. However, for all those people that know my father, in NO WAY are we going to tamper with the card. If the buyer wants to have it 'cleaned' or take a silk stocking to the front of the card to try to clean the front of the card, than best of luck to that person. The image is very clear and crisp for an old judge. I have not seen another Dailey, but Lew did mention in his book that Dailey was one of the confirmed Califonia League cards at the time in which he wrote his book. Dad will have the card at Philly for anyone that wants to take a look at it. I think it is a great looking California League card - even with the ?? on the front..
