The hand cuts are why so many authentic Mikan rookies are out there as they are sheet cuts.
Well said Justin.....if this were a T206 card, it would be called "scrap" but do not let that name fool you. A lot of the hand cut 1948s were in fact grey backgrounds. This is one of the few that I have seen that is larger than a full card and hand cut with all the full colors. Very cool card!

Peace, Mike
