Thank, Neal.

That white dot/spec above his right arm looks like a piece of lint caught between the card and the slab? It's hard to tell for sure, but that's what it looks like to me without using a loupe or a magnifier. It bothers me a bit, but I also don't feel like cracking the slab.

Guess it's time to invest in a loupe, if that would help, which I assume it would?

Thoughts?

my first thought was that it was a piece of dust/lint ON the slab .... which really show up on SGC holders. If it is inside the slab, I am sure that SGC would reholder it no charge

I was wondering that, so that is good to know.

Guess I should still invest in a loupe first just in case it isn't.

Thanks.

I appreciate the info!

I got him through the mail a few years ago. He signed my card and answered some questions I wrote. His inscription on the question sheet was "To Drew. stay Psyched! Al Hrabosky". One of my favorite responses.

I've been after a Musial Rookie for a while now. Finally pulled the trigger! The Mk is for a back stamp and I actually don't mind those on the older cards.

So why did you buy his second year card instead of his Bowman rookie?
