Card arrived today and it is better than the scan shows it came with a COA from Ken Goldin stating that it was auto'd on August 22 2001 in St Pete Fl

    I do not think I would have bought it, because of the grading company. But maybe got a good deal off of it. If the autograph is real!!!!!

    Nice pickup, too bad for the seller that he listed it as Ripkin instead of Ripken.

    as a Don West mark I remember when these were being sold on SAH -WCG was Kenny Goldin's very own grading service and I plan on displaying it along with the Bonds auto also slabbed by WCG that I bought last year at a song compared to other certified ones. LOL at the Cal being a 8 instead of a 10. IMO WCG had some hidden Gems like the Cal and also 1969 Decals and blank/wrong backs. Mike

    I think the auto looks real - price was right - do ya plan on cracking it and resubing it to PSA?

    Nice pick up.

    Sorta like having a comma infront/behind the zero. Makes a big difference.

    Card is on the way seller has left feedback already. Question- How much does PSA charge to slab and are they kind to Ken Goldin stuff or should I crack and submit? Mike
