Congrats, nice card. I had a copy of that as a kid (late 80's, early 90's) that I picked up for relatively cheap at the time ($20 or so) at a show. When I got home I noticed it had "1952" typed on the back. LOL, my first lesson in inspecting carefully before I buy. Oh well, it bothered me for about 5 minutes and then I loved the card anyway.

Haha, yeah, unfortunately I'm STILL learning that lesson. I picked up a raw 52 Bowman Larry Doby for a good price at a card show last year, and I even checked the back. However, the lighting was pretty dim at that booth, and after getting the card outside in the sunlight, it clearly had been signed by "Kevin" lightly in pencil
