I know Nicolo has one but these are pretty darn rare. Rarer than 95% of his issues for sure. If it was a bit smaller (its 9x12) and fit a PSA slab I have no doubt it would be in the several thousands easily. Its a piece of art.

1964 Fortune shoes premium.

Ad from the April 1964 issue of Ebony Magazine.

That's a beauty Lucas.

Trim it, the opinion sellers will give it a number, and you can sell it for a huge profit.

This is definitely high on the list. Only a handful remain, and it's one of the pieces that I'm still trying to find for my collection.

According to my notes, there are 4 that have been graded by PSA.

And since I'm always looking for an excuse to post rare Mays stuff, let's get the party started with this Dad's Cookies from 1959. Total PSA pop = 4

Thanks Doug, I would never be the one to cut any premium. I've seen a few original photos I've sold trimmed and entombed, they look so much worse. One of them just had a tiny border chunk missing and 75% of the border was completely cut off. And its not like they wouldn't have fit the case, the seller thinks people prefer that. I'd much rather have a 8x10 type 1 with a border issue than a 7.323492x9.44541 abomination that looks like it was through a cheap paper cutter.

*Sorry for the off topic*

No longer own one, but PSA only has about 80 graded and as a newspaper give-away in 1954, there can't be too many floating around. (one pictured is not mine)

Looks like the 1958 SF Call Bulletin (with stub) to me.

Unless I’m reading the PSA pop charts wrong, they have it down for pop 45 with the stub, and only pop 7 without the stub. Of course, it seems like those that have the stub could be modified to lose the stub pretty easily.

Default 1952 54 Briggs Meats
Most of the cards (not ads ) I have seen before. my feeling was either the 1964 Meadowgold Dairy which I have. the one I never ever saw offered in all my years collecting was the 1953/54 Briggs Meats - rum roll please - just bought one - YAY ..... actually its 53/54

Congrats!!

Briggs Meats can definitely be tough. Although PSA does have them down for pop 11, plus I’m sure there’s some in SGC holders out there.
