LOL... good one... and thank you. I have a "big" card coming as well. One of my top 3 grails is on the way... I won't say which one yet. I'll just show it when it arrives. Take care. Hope all is well.

Heilbroner card for Alfred Clark, who played for the Yankees in 1947.

Whats up with the green tint? Is it a print defect?

It was the first printing of the Topps cards that year, where they had too much green tint in the process and later corrected. The green tint cards have about the same value of the other cards, but the pose variations sell for much higher.

That's awesome. So how do you end up storing this, in just a set box or do you plan on sleeving/top loading everyone?

They are in an album.....9 pocket pages. Have the entire 1962 set, which now includes the green tint and a wrapper!

Why is the 67 Mays only an 8?

Actually no, just the 67 arrived. I posted it with my current Mays collection in the 2nd pick.

Hello,
Yes, mostly off of Ebay and it kills me everytime. Being overseas I need to add high shipping and IMPORT duties. Killer! I have bought a few off of Facebook through a group I'm on as well.

Centering is slightly off and left edge a bit "fuzzy" I suppose. I don't see much wrong with it as well. I've seen 9s that look lie that but heck, I'm not going to complain since I love the card.
