Who's got a great player or a great card that's a beater? Here's one of mine.

Bought this as a kid. It has about 15 pin holes in it.

Phil,
Would you know how SGC differentiates on their labels between the BB regular player series and the Jackie Robinson Series? At first the border on your card threw me and then I realized what it was. I mean, wouldn't the regular player series have Jackie's name on the label as well?

It's in such bad shape they wouldn't even grade it.

Paul:

The regular Bond Bread issue Jackie Robinson card would not have the word "Portrait" on the flip.

Phil:

Fair enough, although some of the regular issue cards are portraits, e.g., DiMaggio, Reese. A person would have to know about the borders or have seen the Jackie regular issue to know the difference. Maybe I'm nitpicking...

I'm curious; why would a card owner bother sending a beater like that '53 Mantle in for grading?

It came with a great story about how, in the 1950's, it hung in the Yankees locker room by a player who wanted to remind himself to swing like Mickey.

That...plus I had some free grades.
