I saw that one on eBay and almost pulled the trigger too.

Very nice pick-up! Very nice for the grade, IMO. Purple sticker for you!

Haha thanks guys. Was a little unsure buying it since this is the first higher end ($1000+) vintage card I've purchased, so the positive comments are reassuring that I didn't screw something up.

When you look at the card, and you really like it, it means you didn't screw up. As long as the price was in the realm of others then that is a great card and good buy. Who wouldn't want that card?

Agreed...as much as everyone likes to dog on Mr. Mint, he had a comment that resonated with me. "You can't go wrong buying centered cards". If it looks fabulous to you, it will look fabulous to others, and you should have no trouble unloading it if/when that time comes. Problematic cards for you will be problematic for others.

I'm always worried with areas of collecting I don't know that I overlook something that "everyone" knows.

For example, I seriously considered buying one of the Mathewson "Won in the Ninth" a while back and then learned of the controversy there..
