Baseball cards try a man's soul. Case in point...
1966mays1971aaron.jpg At a show today, I saw this 1966 Mays and it looked, in the dim light of the venue, what most would call pack fresh. Really beautiful, despite being OC. However, the left side looked a little odd, so I laid it atop of a new card and saw it was a bit miscut, as part of it bubbled out further than it should, making it a tiny bit larger than it should be (the entire side except for the very middle). I figured I could easily live with that, especially with how much these #1 cards go for in mid-grades. After negotiating with the seller, I grabbed it for a 'great' price. That's the ecstasy. Now for the agony. After getting home, I really began examining it and BOOM!!!, when tilted in the light I saw there's a small wave on it, a thin wrinkle that seemingly only appears at surface/gloss level, not in any way going through to the other side, Freaking A!!!!!!!!!!!! My cheers turned to tears. Edited to add: Since a couple of people inquired, here are a couple of pics... This sadly shows the wrinkle in the light... 1966mayswrinklelight1.jpg And this shows how much wider the card is compared to a standard sized 'modern' card (check out the white of the Mays towering above the Molina card)... 1966mayswrinklebackcomparison1.jpg
