Starting a new project with this one.

Thanks Brian and Al. I'm not sure about grading it, but it will definitely remain as is and uncut while in my possession!

Credit to MattyC for his pickups last month, I had to get one of my own.

[MattyC]

Thx. You got one of the best looking cards ever right there-- and finding one centered like that is tough. Props!

[jthorst75]

Thanks Matt; it's tough trying to keep up with you. I guess it's cheaper just to sit back and admire.

Thx-- had to grab this guy. Centering was money and it's a great value in this grade because the price jumps huge in 9.

Also, this card has to be considered alongside the Molitor/Trammell in the "two great players on same RC" discussion. Cecil Cooper had some NASTY seasons. Especially in 1980 when he was overshadowed by Brett's insane performance and the star wattage of Yankees like Reggie and Goose for MVP consideration. Power with a .350+ avg, 200 hits, this was a damn good player.

Love that Fisk...that rough cut is awesome, too.
