Larry- I've heard something along those lines. Supposedly the machine that printed them was notorious for destroying the last line of cards. I heard that they just snipped off the damages end and cut the rest for distribution. Could be an old wives tale but this card is quite tough.

Awesome card!

I'm a huge UT collector. This has been #1 on my want list for 20+ years

I'm going for a RC of all the UT exes. I'll post the others I'm picking up. I have some CFL issues on the way.

Matt: Since reading your posting I have been looking for this card in off grade, and spotted one on eBay which I won. The card arrived today. My "book" says $3,000 in NM, and got it for just a touch over 5% ($154.50 delivered). I will probably crack it out of it's slab and put him in the box with the other '54 Bowman Large cards.
