Whoever decided to go with the sticker on the back in the first instance, I have no idea. Certainly wasn't my idea.

I think grading is good for the hobby overall. When I see a sticker on a card or a photo I puke. Still a very neat card though....congrats on that!!

Thanks Leon! Love this pair. Can't argue with a Wheat or an early Rousch!

There is a strip card with this same image that is extremely hard to find. I saw one on eBay years ago in a lot that didn't have it labeled and I missed out on it. I haven't seen another since.

Thanks for posting a picture of the Thorpe strip card, Andy. Very cool item. I read about it, but have yet to see one for sale. Do you happen to remember what it went for?

Hi Jeff,

I think the whole lot that the strip card was included with went for around $50 total. It was a total steal for whoever won it. I missed the end of the auction and was so bummed.
