Thanks Brian! Now I just need the 54.... I am so glad the wrinkle didn't go through his face. I don't mind creases as long as they don't ruin the eye appeal. I appreciate the kind words. This is one I've wanted for a while. I bid on this exact card in an auction several months ago but backed out one bid too soon.
