Default 1959 Fence Busters

Matt---while it is not a variation listed in SCD or elsewhere that I know, this card can easily be found with a appears to be hand scratched "A" above the joined shoulders of Mays and Ashburn. There is a PSA 8 on ebay now with the A

I entitled this Fence Busters, I meant Hitting Kings

Was the "A" a block letter or script? - because, unless i'm imagining it, there appears to be a script "A" between them on Matt's card. Maybe it's just a surface ding though.

Dang it, Al!

Thanks for putting a hole in my 1959 set.

Sarcastically yours,

I'm pretty happy to add this one to the collection. Most people have an angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. Roberto was so cool, he just had himself wielding a bat.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it!

Other than the NM corners, the only real flaw is the green background is slightly off register, creating a thin yellow line that surrounds the green background (ie. the yellow and blue that combine to make the green background are off register).
