Something kind of cool

I just got some grades back, and happened to find this little gem tucked in amongst them.
1961 TOPPS 113 MIKE FORNIELES N/A 9
Not only is it a 1/1, but it's the last card in the 1961 Topps set (save two of the checklist variations) to have a pop. of zero in PSA 9 or higher. It's not every day that you 'close out' the pop. on a major set, so I thought it was worth sharing.
Oh, and one other from the same sub:
06594714 1958 TOPPS 29 FLEMING MACKELL N/A 9
It's also a 1/1 (from the hockey set), which is pretty cool

Not that it's really pertinent, but...I've had a raw version of that card since @ 1976, when I got it in a trade in my elementary school lunchroom, so I have a clear mental image of it without looking it up.
So what's the plan, you putting that baby on ebay, or are you working on the set your ownself?
Also, I'm assuming you can just run up to Gibraltar and pick up another PSA 9 worthy raw Fornieles in the $1 bargain bin
Congratulations again!

LOL! Yeah, it'll find it's way to the 'bay.
I was thinking about it, and I'm not sure where the card came from. It could have come from one of my Gibraltar sweeps, but it's been a long time since I found any vintage there worth grading. I also bought about 150$ worth of slabbed PSA 8's from various years at the Toronto Expo last year, and this could have been one of the cards that I cracked from that batch. Hard to say.
In either case, thanks Tom for the kind words. And thank GOD basketball season is here (and football is over). GO SPARTANS!!
