Exactly - the paper loss at the top and bottom left corners goes along with this perfectly.

Before slabbing, because of the great front, would this be worth the same as a card graded EX by today's standards?

When I first got into T206's, I couldn't understand why anyone even cared about the backs - thought, "WTF - there's no stats!?! Who cares about an ad?"

I still don't care about the vintage stamps, especially the ones that have a 1909-11 date - I think they add to the coolness.

I might have to recant my statement....Here is a link to where the seller purchased the card. Notice it is a very old flip.

Nice find! :)

Don't worry, I thought the same thing when I posted about the possibility of a cracked case on page 3 of this thread.

Crazy standard. PSA 5 with paper loss but let them find a 1/64" wrinkle with a 100X loop in just the right light and it's a PSA 3. But the system isn't broken just running on 3 wheels.
