Another RC but a bit off the beaten path.

Nice card Pete! Why the " authentic " designation?

Allegedly the gray variation ones are all hand cut off proof sheets, although some people say otherwise. They used to grade them now they don't. If this is a hand cut it's pretty impressive.

Very nice. I had no clue a "gray variation" even existed. Campy seems very under-appreciated these days, especially for a guy who won 3 MVP's. Nothing against him because he's one of my heroes, but all anyone ever wants to talk about these days in relation to the Brooklyn Dodgers is Jackie Robinson, it seems. Jackie made Campy's path possible - but at least once you got closer to the mid-1950's - it was Roy that was doing a heckuva lot more damage at the plate for the Dodgers in comparison to Jackie.

I have been searching for this one for years but kept missing out on it. Even with it being trimmed along the top, I am please to add this to my collection (only 1 ever graded on PSA, so somewhat difficult to find in any condition):

I have also noticed, like mine, although more rarely than anything, the blackish mark on the top border.

When I first seen it, I assumed it was a stain or pen/ink mark but I have notice similar marks, almost in the identical location on more than a few.

Now that I have the one I own, I am debating to get it slabbed or just purchased another one that is already slabbed?

I don't know what it is? Maybe having 2 iconic, HOF players on the same card, or just the fact it's the only card the pair ever appeared on together, but whatever it is, this card did and continues to put a big smile on my face.

Not so much a pickup, as a dump truck full of cards this month.

Picked up this gargantuan collection from a friend who does high end estate sales.

Was more than he could deal with, and probably more than I can, but who turns this down??
