good eye Sean,yes it is...kind of:::

from the listing---
On the offered card, Gibson is shown in a left-handed pitching follow-through pose, the result of a prank played by Gibson on the Topps photographer tasked with compiling images for use in the upcoming set. The prank was ultimately discovered by editors at Topps and corrected with the portrait image before the final run...

That Winthrop is great!

I knocked off two cards I wanted, a 1962 Pittsburgh Exhibit Mays and a 1985 Star Jordan Slam Dunk.

in this auction you'd have had some competition for that Mays - went cheap - had way too many other things to focus on this go round!

So- with all the noise in the hobby- what does everyone think of the hammer prices in REA?

Anything go high?- low?

Did I overpay for my one win?

I thought it was surprising how few bids it got. I got knocked out of another lot I wanted more, saw this one was still there, and put in a bid that held. Of course you have to factor in 20% vig and 10% sales tax (in CA).

On the issue of prices, I watch Exhibits and the Ruth single subject cards performed very well. They are getting quite pricey even in lower grades.
