Default Beeeeeg Scan

Won the photo in the recent Goodwin auction. NW and SE corners were already a tad bumped in Goodwin's scan. I don't hold him to blame. The holder is entirely inappropriate for its purpose - the photo will swim all over until it wedges itself in the sides **BRR-RING ... BRR-ING** Holy Smokes! It's Bill Goodwin on the line in mid-sentence. Bill is very apologetic, offers a refund or whatever I would like. I'd like to keep McMullin - it was to be the anti-Zeenut in my seat-of-the-pants Black Sox collection (I'll bust it out into a toploader) - so Bill offers a very generous rebate. McDonald is taken care of and no longer fouling the air with blue verbiage and, what's more, Bill promises to advise Joe Orlando that his photo holders need to go back to the drawing board (on account of they suck) and so the Hobby might become a slightly better place as a result. I just love a happy ending.
