Yes, it is. And it’s particularly unique bc it has no team and you can see an overprint name tag was placed over the original name/team scroll.

Let us know what you're not bidding on so we can pick up the scraps.

Jerry, you probably once owned half my collection… only a slight exaggeration. Leon owned stuff too. It’s funny how stuff gets passed around the board, either from auction or privately

Ryan thanks for the kind words but my collection pales(d) next to yours...Phil, I will post my bids tomorrow night...just for clarification "lockdown bids" means Tim Walz will come to your house and shoot you with a paint-gun if you attempt to outbid me...Jerry

That card has an interesting History. I bought it from Johnny V - a longtime member and early pioneer and collector of t206 scraps and freaks. My understanding is that many years ago, it sat in a PSA flip, numerically graded as a straight southern leaguer old mill (shock PSA would screw up). Johnny (or maybe someone else) saw it was brown, bought it for relative pennies and then had SGC grade it properly.
