Default Problem with John Ward Four Base Hits

Posted By: ramram

Sorry, but I'm still too busy laughing over the flowery description of the card.

"The very mention of subjects from this issue will make even the most advanced hobbyist act fanciful and silly around collectors of the same ilk. Make mention of a Hall of Famer and the response of these collectors becomes outright laughable, as it is the only response acceptable to what surely can`t be possible. In this case, it surely is possible, as we our proud to be able to offer this 1887 Four Base Hits example of Hall of Famer John Ward. When viewing this treasure the one thing that becomes abundantly clear is that one word that keeps coming to mind: captivating! Enthusiasts will peer at this card as if they can`t believe the sight of the card, almost as if they need time to appreciate what is really before them. Exceptionally well-centered, the card exhibits a scintillating, deeply registered image that provides perfect contrast of subject. The four corners are each slightly rounded but project well when considering the offered card`s true rarity. It must be noted that the card has been professionally restored, and is without question being sold as such. The restoration appears to be at the bottom of the card, and more so, on the reverse of the card, where it appears as if the restoration was done in an attempt to strengthen the bottom portion of the card to the rest of the card, due to a heavy crease or small tear. Whether or not the offered card has had any restoration really isn`t the point of this exceptional offering, as the unbelievable rarity outweighs any of this. The offered esteemed collectible is presented with immense pride on our part, and offers one collector the great distinction of adding one our hobby`s rarest pasteboards to their holdings."

P.S. Looks like you got their attention Barry...they have another addendum today.
