Elberfeld Wash is a genuinely rare card, so many of them are graded just because of their value, still there should be a few around!

Jeff I believe that falls under the category of kicking a guy in the nuts when hes already down..
Nice Card!

Jamie, you just made me think of Eric Cartman when you wrote that.

While not as nice as Jeff's (a.k.a Client #8)...

Jamie - I know your frustration, so I just sent you an email offering to sell you one of mine (the one below, which I got as part of a lot in a Masto Auction either last year or the year before, I forget which year). I'd even crack it out for you for free so you can receive it raw and ungraded! I agree with comments above that due to the value/rarity of this variation, when you are able to find one it does tend to be graded. But a hammer and a screwdriver can magically turn it back into a raw and ungraded card.

Regards,
Adam

After the T206 "Big Six" there are the "Tough Trio"....Dahlen (Brooklyn)....Elberfeld (portrait-Washington)....
Lundgren (Cubs).

Fortunately Elberfeld (portrait-Washington) was not printed with a SOVEREIGN back.

From my PIEDMONT set......
