Default This no longer a joke

Posted By: Julian

"Julian, Thank you for your interest! I won this card on Ebay, approx. 2.5
years ago, just as you see it. I have no idea why Pro was chosen to slab the
card and don't know whether or not the card was ever graded by any of the
'Big 4' grading services. I have made no attempt to submit the card, since my
ownership, to any alternate grading service. The card sizes EXACT catalog
specifications, top to bottom, and is approx. 1/32 to 1/64th of an inch
WIDER, left to right (Look at how it fills the holder), than catalog specs,
and was measured to the OUTSIDE of the ruler's marking lines, just to be on
the safe side. This measurement was ascertained across not just ONE line of
width or height, but across many random points on the card. The portraiture,
the area boundaried by the black frame lines is precisely identical when
compared to a G/VG "control" MM, so stretching and trimming is NOT a
possibility. I cannot notice ANY other forms of alteration as well. Thank
you. -Richard "
