Opinions?

Great pickup, it found a good home & it deserves to be in your collection!

Happy for you Johnny!

Haven't forgot about you, I'll be calling you soon.

Nice score Johnny !!!!!

I know you couldn't wait to see what was under the front. Do you think if you soaked it (I'm not suggesting that you do) that the Piedmont would be clearer? It's a carzy card, it looks like SC on the back also?

Anyhow-congrats !!! It's found a nice home, with lots of friends

Sincerely, Clayton

I don't think that card is scrap....

What you have there is two cards somewhat skinned and pasted together. Whoever did that must have wanted a SC card instead of that Piedmont back.

I'd have soaked the two apart if it had been mine.

Scrap would be something that wasn't usable that most folks would have discarded. That Howard white border card with the Piedmont back wasn't scrap. And I would think that the Sweet Caporal back once was an entire card, and someone peeled the front and back apart, then glued the SC back onto the Howard card.

Yeah, if you are going to conduct major card operations like this, you really have to learn to soak. If it were a NM card I would understand reluctance to soak, but not with this one.
