I'm not sure if this is rare, but in several years of searching, mine is the only copy I have ever seen. Had PSA been willing to holder it, I would have gladly submitted it to them, but SGC was the only taker, so here it is. I have waited years for one of the top-tier grading companies to accept this card. What a relief!

Is it cellophane? Neat item.

I've never seen or heard of it before. Very cool, I love that kind of stuff.

whats the story behind it?

stevegarveyfan

Thanks for the kind comments. It's actually made of the exact same material as microfiche sheets. It's transparent and very thin, so SGC had to make a custom sleeve for it.

I found it raw on eBay several years ago and have kept it in my closet, in a box, in a small envelope, between two pieces of cardboard for a long time. Having asked and been turned down by all the top-tier graders, SGC finally relented, and there ya go.

Yay!

1st one ive ever seen, what size is it???????

stevegarveyfan

I would estimate 11 x 18 cm. I'm not at home right now, so I don't have the card in front of me.

Actually, I was at work trying to mentally measure my memory of the card against a plastic ruler, and the "inches" side had pretty much worn off, so I used cm. I am from Oklahoma. But thanks, eh.

Never mind

Saw the listing on ebay. Good luck with the sale. Very tough to put a price on it since there is no history.

Did you get it crossed over to PSA? A photo of a SGC graded copy is what brought me here, but I see PSA has 1 graded copy and I believe you shared a PSA copy on another site not that long ago.
