Al CrisafulliWell, there you go. I bought the Jesse Haines - same seller, same bunch of cards, same mistake of not thoroughly reading the description.
Drag.
This is the drawback of doing a HOF type card set - a set I collect intensely, like 1938 Goudeys, I can spot an alteration pretty easily, because I'm so familiar with the set. Trying to do HOFers in as many different card types as possible, its easy to run into a set that you've got no familiarity with, and get stuck with an altered card.
Oh, well, my bad. Back to the thread topic. It's a really nice card nonetheless, and I'm glad to have it - if it truly is scarce, I'm sure it's worth bidding on. The problem is that I'm sure others made the same mistake I did when buying from the last lot, so it's tough to use those auctions as an assessment of "value".
