			I would buy the PSA 3. The PSA 2 has better eye appeal but that rotten spot on the card kills it for me.

			Both are pretty rough for the grade.  I'd pass on both unless I'd been searching for one for awhile.   I've never seen a 2 with a pinhole before.  I wouldn't be in any hurry to pay 2 money for that one.

			I often buy the holder but in this case I bought the  card.  The MK  is a faint, half-inch ink mark on a deep black background on the back--in other words, only visible in certain light and at an angle.  The card could have gotten a 5, and it's well-centered.  I wonder if there's more than one or two better looking Duffys out there....http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1455338320

			Not to be a broken record, but +2. I would continue looking for another example... Cheers, Steve |
