Here is one of my favorite W503's. Anyone familiar of where this shot was taken? Check out that unforgiving wall!

Default Cool card.
Looks like some jail...lol. I love how dirty he is in this card and how he has what looks like his glove just stuffed in his back pocket. Great looking card.

I waited an appropriate amount of time (about a week) to boost this thread back into the spotlight...here's Pistol Pete Alexander.

Just a guess, but the outfield wall, now covered in ivy, at Wrigley Field.

Wonderful card, Gary. It is definitely not hand cut as the label says.
Since they don't know that I am not so sure they know what an alteration is either.

Great card. Back around the turn of the century a Ruth with tape on the top border sold on Ebay for $100 just before I started noticing a seller's listings. A few months later the same came back on ebay from another seller and sold for around $150. I have always regretted not going after it.

It looks like the alteration is the old school pen marking to 'fill-in' the crease.

Thanks! Yep, the alteration is due to the recoloring of the crease. Still, I was waiting for this card to show up for sale for YEARS, and was very happy that I was able to add it to my collection even in this condition.

It's just their "opinion" Leon.

Like Leon with his E90-1 Cy Young card, I won't pass up an opportunity to show this one again. If anyone has a WaJo in nicer condition, I'd love to see it.
