Default Is it ever too good to be true........

When I decided to focus only on T206's, this Chase came up for auction on ebay. I decided I was going to go for it, and put in my bids. I don't remember if there was a scan/photo of the back of the card or not, but I won it for a modest price (can't even remember how much to be honest ). So the card arrived, and I can remember being slightly irritated because there was "ink" on the front ..........that I hadn't noticed in the scan/photo of the card.

So eventually I realize that it appears to be a transfer of an EPDG back on the front. But even cooler to me is that (thanks to TedZ's educational posts) that this is a fairly tough Sov.460 super print. It isn't the rarest card out there, but for me, I feel like I scored on it

I don't know how it flew under the radar of all of the tough back collectors, but I am glad it did!!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Thanks for all the stories so far. Love hearing about finding diamonds in the rough.
