If I breathe on this it will fall apart.

survive the slabbing process. I think you can see the light of day through the crack in the upper left.

I had no idea how small and delicate these were until I got this one in my hand prior to slabbing.

I'm assuming the original owner handled this card on 1,307 consecutive days?

Imagine what his Gehrigs must look like!

Not really a card, but the most fragile item I have.

I have a 1934 Butterfinger premium that likewise was printed on something like pulp, and has turned crazy brittle and (I was going to say yellow, but it's beyond that) brown. It's safely in an archival sleeve. But if I tried to take it out it would crumble to pieces if not dust! Some things have held up to the test of time pretty well, others, it's a miracle they still exist.

Sadly, after posting this, I took it out to look at it without removing it from its protective sheet and a little more of the upper left corner came off.

I also have a T201 that I would never dream of folding.
