    There have been others before. I think many have dismissed it as a print fluke. BMW Sports (many years back) had a very high grade one that had a very high sticker price to go along with it.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    The one I had came back a PSA 6, can't remember what I sold it for but I think it was around 1200 or so...

    Q: Hello. How certain are you that this is not a fake? If it were found to be a fraud - through grading by PSA - would you allow a return and refund? Thanks. Jeff Jun-08-08

    A: I trust the people 100% that I deal with. They think the card is real, and I think it is real. I can't give a refund on a grading companies "opinion". The people that are employed by grading companies make mistakes just like everyone else.

    I love the fact that he won't provide better scans and everything he has to be taken at his word. And if that's not enough, there are no returns. It may be a great card and in top condition, but there are way too many danger signals to pique my interest or garner my bid.

    Looks like that screwdown holder may have damaged the lower left back corner :

    That holder was designed for a standard sized card. Whoever put that card in there is an idiot ...

    they come up on occasion , I do not think mid grade ones go for this much as I have considered it in the past and I know I would not sprnd that much for it.

    agree, that the screwdown looks to have beat up the card

    Is this a know varient? If so, what's the story behind it? Did Broadway Joe really have a butterfly tattoo on his hand or is it a print spot?

    It is a known variation. It is a black print spot that resembles a butterfly. It's not a tattoo, but the place it rests on his hand makes it look that way. These usually sell for a slight premium over his regular card, but the differencs isn't much, maybe 10-15% more.

    I read somewhere that the picture was taken in a hospital hallway with Joe on crutches.

    I asked for additional scans out of screwdown, this was the reply:

    guarantee that the card has no damage from the screws. I won't take it out because I may damage it myself. I have looked at it with a magnifying glass. It is too perfect for me to take a chance of messing it up. It's uo to you if you bid or don't bid. May I suggest that you take a look at my feedback. Thanks for your interest, Dorothy
