WoW!

I could read stories like this all day long! Thanks for sharing. So many opportunities for this card to have wound up in the landfill forever lost to the collectors who are now going to pay up for it on ebay! Not sure Ebay is the best route however

I don't have any use for it. It's not centered enough nor do I see any creases. I'm out.

Fantastic article, and I might add that I'm glad there was an honest, local card shop they took it to. Now maybe all parties can make a little money.

About eight years earlier, after his father downsized and moved out of his home, Mitch, his brother and his sister-in-law began going through the house.

You mean after his kids kicked him out of HIS home and then stole all HIS belongings?

That "3" seems like a harsh grade to me.

What causes this to be demoted to a 3. That may be the nicest 3 in existence.

It's definitely not! The buyer will just send it to Goldin next year and double his money.

That’s a fantastic baseball card. How high will it go? How quickly after eBay will it be consigned to REA/Memory Lane/Heritage/LOTG?

"including this rookie card of this HOFer". What a beautiful card, Val.
