I have not seen a full scan of this copy -

Yeah, I don't know. The owner was very convincing at the time of our correspondence regarding the clear copy. Very friendly, thorough...but I don't know if I can dig the emails up. I also recall him posting about it on the PSA forums before contacting me. See post #10 from Donovan (Bill Ripken collector), pics no longer available but he states it wasn't altered, as does post #14 from the owner: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/foru...uestion-(Pics)

I'm not ready to say a clearer than what is commonly accepted as the clearest version DOESN'T exist out there if only because of the handful of variations in the set with only a few known copies (Ripkens, Checklists with positions).

Here is the pic I have of a PSA 9 Marlboro. (not mine)

Sorry, huge image. I just wanted it as detailed as possible. I've seen this Johnson PSA 9 - before and after grading - and it looks OK to me. <<wanted to say I've held this Johnson, but decided not to>>

Thanks for the big picture Jon. That one is different than the one I have. Mine was made like the card Jerry sent me.
