For the record, Bill Hughes, who actually graded the card, said it was an 8 to him and he didn't know a backstory. That's what he's told me.
I enjoyed the interview. Thanks for posting it, Peter.

Leon, as we've discussed, at least according to O'Keeffe, he said he knew it was sheet cut/trimmed.

I still don't understand the emphasis in the popular lore on the trimming as opposed to it being sheet/strip cut. It was never worthy of a number grade.

I am only stating what Bill told me told about 2-3? yrs ago.

As for Okeefe, he completely misquoted Chris Ivy on purpose, in an article concerning me selling my collection, by putting a period (or comma, I forget) in a sentence, changing the meaning. Before that, I had no issue with him. After that, I had no use for him or his reporting.
