That's a beauty Lucas.

Trim it, the opinion sellers will give it a number, and you can sell it for a huge profit.

This is definitely high on the list. Only a handful remain, and it's one of the pieces that I'm still trying to find for my collection.

According to my notes, there are 4 that have been graded by PSA.

And since I'm always looking for an excuse to post rare Mays stuff, let's get the party started with this Dad's Cookies from 1959. Total PSA pop = 4

1954 Alaga Syrup Postcard Mays

PSA pop = 1

[raulus]

1957 Knickerbocker Beer postcard

PSA pop = 1

I also have a raw one, so I suspect there are likely to be more out there.

1958 Hires Root Beer Test Set with tab

PSA pop = 3

Yeah...no.

It look a long time to finally track it down, and I had to pay a healthy sum to acquire it. Now that I have it, it's proudly on display in my "forever" collection.

Maybe someday after I retire, and need to start selling off my collection to fund my retirement, then I'll let it go. But that's still a long ways off, as I'm still relatively young.

Thanks Doug, I would never be the one to cut any premium. I've seen a few original photos I've sold trimmed and entombed, they look so much worse. One of them just had a tiny border chunk missing and 75% of the border was completely cut off. And its not like they wouldn't have fit the case, the seller thinks people prefer that. I'd much rather have a 8x10 type 1 with a border issue than a 7.323492x9.44541 abomination that looks like it was through a cheap paper cutter.
