Pulled this out of a bargain box.

I went to pull $12.00 out of my wallet when he said $10! I felt guilty, knowing Jim as well as I do and with all of the great sales we have made over the years, I brought the card to his attention and was even willing to cancel the transaction, which he declined. I have had great bargains in the past with cards, but this one is on another level.

Great pick up.

Congrats!

Good for you to call it to his attention, and good for him as a seller to complete the transaction at his initial price offer afterwards.

While it is well known among 52 set collectors I do not think it is recognized yet by PSA. Nor is it listed in my last SCD catalog, which admittedly is a few years old. Not sure about Beckett's.

That’s awesome man. Congrats on catching that one.
