Gary,

I checked the No Qualifier box and wrote a note in the comments also.

Sometimes as you know they will still assign a Qualifier such as MC even when you ask them not to. I think the "eye appeal" and the fact that the tape is obviously old and not malicious was a factor! Not sure though!

I am thrilled! Thanks for all the comments and the guesses!

Peace, Mike

A card like that really doesn't matter if it had a qualifier or not. It is still gonna bring the coin.

Totally agree....point being that some of us OCDers hate qualifiers!! HA...very happy for the OP. Awesome card!

Sweet card, and the tape wouldn't bother me too much either. Congrats!

Great card- congrats! Would love to hear the story of how you found it & brought it back into the hobby.

Original owner collection, all had tape. This card was the "prize". I am good at "finding cards". Been doing it since 1976. Have found original owner 1957-58 Topps Basketball, 1948 Bowman Basketball low numbers, multiple Babe Ruth baseballs, T206s, T207s, all from New England. I use word of mouth and aggressive use of friend to friend constant reminding. Always looking! Some of these finds were with a friend who is also very aggressive at asking anyone and everyone we interact with! Little bit of luck and instinct. It serves me well when I collect celebrity baseballs also. Covidd has put a damper on my methods but there is so much uncovered stuff out there! Trust me!

Thanks! Mike
