Bought this Sunday and it just came today. Pretty happy with it, but I don't know if this is bringing me out of my collecting "funk" or not. One thing is for certain, the card will be cracked out of its PSA holder.

this one was (already cracked out of holder) a PSA 8 that set me back $853 delivered. OUCH! normally i don't get into rookie cards much, but i have always wanted one of these and a pujols chrome rookie. i figure at how those two are playing, prices will only go up, and since i don't do this to make money, i need to buy now. LOL

Great card - I used to have one of those. :) Think it was a PSA 9 that I paid $480.

Just curious, but why take it out of a protective holder??

i am completely, 100% anti-slab. i hate slabs and have taken every card i have ever owned out of it's slab (if it was slabbed). the only exception has been the lou gehrig cut autograph that i have. the reason it wasn't cracked out is because no where on the card does it state 1/1 or gehrig's name (other than the cut).
