Default "Fact" of "Fiction"

I’ll get to the “Fact or Fiction” in just a minute. Today the Jacksonville “Jumbo Shrimp” (Marlins AA) took on the Pensacola “Blue Wahoos” (Reds AA) in a 12 noon match up. Parking was $5 and as a veteran I get a reserved seat for another $5. Cans of Yuengling were 1/2 price but I don’t drink. Yes that’s the Jaguars home field in the background.



The “Shrimp” came out on top 5-3, and I took the short drive over to the Riverside area of Jacksonville to do some exploring. There was an Antique Mall I wanted to revisit, and while inside, the owner mentioned a baseball card shop just up a block. And here is what I see approaching the building:



“Fact or Fiction”
a. Only 5 Known To Exist
b. None Graded Higher
c. $4,000

There are 5 graded by PSA and 3 by SGC. Two of the SGC are graded higher. I have no idea about the value.

Accurate for PSA. PSA lists one A and 4 1s. That card has been on and off eBay periodically, as well as another 1 that's not missing a bite out of it which is considerably higher priced.

Default Fact or Fiction?

Can you believe there is a baseball card shop so close to Larry’s home that he was unaware of?

My vote - Fiction

Why is the 52 Topps Mantle on the billboard trimmed?

Hi Larry,

Was at the Jumbo Shrimp game yesterday and had an awesome time. Great stadium and easy to get to. Shrimp won 4 to 3 in regulation.

Jumbo Shrimp - hardly a minor league oxymoron.

It was 52 48 and Matty C couldn't stand it.

Lots of good entertainment in this thread. Any posts that have Jumbo Shrimp in them always get my attention.... And as for the question of fact or fiction, just another ebay type listing concerning fiction or more fiction.
