Default Johnson 8 (hands at chest) in Mastro's

Posted By: T206Collector

As I've said numerous times before, I stay away from cards as highly graded as this one. Not only is the price prohibitive, but this card is presumptively trimmed even before you show me a scan with borders as thin as those.

To me, unless you can get SGC, PSA and Beckett to all agree that an 8 hasn't been trimmed, your single slab isn't enough to overcome the presumption of alteration.

But my favorite thing about this listing is the time and care that went into writing the description: "...a glistening red Piedmont-brand advertisement appears on the reverse."
