Hi Phil......long story short : I had sent that "some-kid's-coloring-project" 1931 Metropolitan Studios St. Louis Cardinals (W574) Dizzy Dean in to Beckett Grading expecting only an "Authentic" , no number grade , but at least slabbed for eternal preservation , but it was returned to me raw , just as sent , along with the graders' fact sheet noting that they were "unable to identify".....which I guess I could understand , because even to a vintage grader it's a rarely-seen card , and the skill of the artist who added the coloring is dang good (look at Ole Diz's shoes).....so I'm out $18 but I've had a good story to tell at the Beckett table at the national these past 15 years...

..your work is exquisite by the way , thanks for sharing it with us...
