I'm all about the presentation and the price, regardless of slab. The Howe is decently centered and crease-free, which is a bit of a stretch with the deckles, and the price was great. This is my current happy card:



Bought it raw at the National and it just got an 8.

On occasion you see a card and you are owning the sucker even if you overpay a bit:



I saw Boom Boom and hadn't ever seen a nicer 67 so I grabbed it even though my normal wheelhouse is nice 6 or 7 caliber for this set.

I saw him play as well and he became a favorite. That's a wonderful card!
