Rumor has it that Pirate Tinker can actually be had for just $180 instead of the listed $199.99.

Really, what would you pay for that card? I'd probably pay $5 or $10...maybe not $10...

Tinker Grading Notes from PSA
Nice card.
The hole is perfectly round, a NM hole, with no irregularities or powder burns. Tinker's nose is well preserved in NM-MT condition despite its proximity to the hole. Both the entrance and exit wounds are equally clean. The exit through the top half of the V only in no way interferes with the legibility of the text on the reverse. I have considered the possibility of the hole being a distraction to divert my attention from a trimming of the card, but the card measures correctly and the edges and corners do not appear tampered with in any way. I conclude therefore that this must be a rarely seen factory hole. There appears to be a small insignificant crease/wrinkle or two outside the left shoulder. A 2 point deduction for this defect in my opinion. Since the owner of this card is a nice guy, helpinghumans, and since he paid for this assessment, I'm going to recommend a grade of 5MC with a suggested retail value of $199.99. My name is (see below) and I approve of this message.

Nice comments guys. I thought it was interesting myself. Great work Frank, on your analysis and denotation of 5MC.
Val- If it had been a song, and I chuckled at that, it would have been "I have a bat on my shoulder and a hole in my heart, crying in my beer with my horse at my side  ."

Sharpshooter
Annie Oakley, one of the greatest trickshot specialists in history, used to end each show by shooting a cigarette from her husband's mouth. As she slipped into middle age, her vision slipped a bit and she needed a target a tad wider to shoot at. A cigarette card seemed a likely next step. As both the Tinker and the Hoffman examples illustrate, she tended to pull off "high-right but still hit the target. Still, quite remarkable
