Either way...just a fantastic card. I just subbed a 54, 55, and a 56 Jackie...hoping to get 1's, maybe a 2 on my 55 but doubt it. Your 53 blows them away...haha.


Picked up another 64 Giant...really loving these...

Thanks again. SGC owed me one, a few months back I sent a very nice but diamond cut '54 Jackie. They sent it back Authentic - evidence of trimming. I would acknowledge that the cut was weird, but the card was not trimmed. It measured out perfectly. That's disappointing to me; SGC should have known better but simply didn't take the time. Either way, I will agree they are tough. This '53 was a nice LCS pickup where I just walked in one day and it was new in the showcase. After quickly negotiating the price with them to my liking, I walked out with it.

Nice pickup. The '64 Giants are beautiful cards, but I have always had a hard time getting onboard with oddball sizes.
