I’d go for it. I have a couple cards from that era with the borders trimmed off, and I think it makes the colors pop more.

I can see picking up a beater of a Koufax rookie. A nice Koufax is very expensive, so a rough one is better then nothing.

Even the King of quality Lionel Carter had beaters.
This one was priced at a dime (see the back scan) when he bought it.

Never thought Biff Schlitzer would be in the same conversation as Koufax
Biff never had a winning season as a major league pitcher, his best season was 1909 when he went 4-4

Don't do it. Over time, Sandy will end up looking like Babe here. Unfortunately that is the inevitable side effect of getting older.

Brian (actually...get it! It's like getting an older mutt at the pound...more often than not you both will love each other)

Don't laugh, it ain't THAT bad. I would have it in a heartbeat. If you decide you don't like it, sell it to me. I think Koufax is my favorite pitcher of all time.

Only so many Koufax threads out there. I love showing off this photo of him on the day he was signed:

You did great. Key cards of key players will always have a buyer. I'll post a recent purchase I made as soon as it arrives. Was less than $100, but very similar purchase to yours.

Definitely a good find for a few bucks. If it makes you happy and you can afford it, go for it.

In its own unique way, that card is beautiful. It has character and a story to tell.

Ok Brian - I'll take that for $25

When I see that Ruth, I think of two other cards which appear routinely on Net54: Large-Ass Herzog and bocabirdman's T206 Waddell. They've grown on me quite a bit throughout the years.

Default Koufax RC
Hell Yes !

You can make a checkmark on you "bucket list" and later down the road you'll come across another chance for a "better" Koufax RC and make a decision on that card. Good Luck !

Yeah, I've got better corners, but I also have the mustache variation. I paid more than $25 because of the 'stache I guess.

This card is in my complete 55 Topps Mutant Set, many of which are below low grade, but others somewhat better.


I like my re-bordered Williams card better.



The border is from a Preston Ward card, so technically this is a Williams/Ward Hybrid, very rare.

Glad you like the Ruth Eric. I am associated with two of the triumvirate...of course the Ruth, but also the T206 Waddell I consider one of my finest underbidding achievements when it popped up on ebay so many years ago.

I think I get to see it more often because Mike won it than if I had, so it all worked out for the best for the viewing public.

Not surprising Brian. Mike keeps the Waddell in his pocket at all times.
Trust me he waddles when walks.

I probably would. Depending on my mood and what else was there.

Condition isn't really all that much of an issue sometimes.
