Since I’m seeing my name mentioned in this thread I felt it was necessary to respond. First and foremost, I am not the consignor of the card in question (nor is my father).

FWIW, discussion around the Collins “Yellow Elephant” first started sometime in early 2012 after I won an example in a major auction house that now resides in a SGC 60/5 holder.

I made a thread soon after outlining my thoughts and to my surprise a few other examples surfaced – simply Google “T205 Yellow Elephant Net54” to see the thread that I am referencing.

Although this oddity is technically not recognized by any of the hobby publications or TPGs, I do feel that the argument could be made in the long run. Either way, I'm happy to see this card starting to get the recognition it deserves.
