    I doubt psa will ever designate and even if they did the pop report would never be correct, but your Luke is actually a #57a vs 57b. All β€˜52 Mantle-esque like.

    Very easy to distinguish by the asterisk at the beginning of the copyright stamp on the front.

    β€œ * β€œ denotes the A side

    β€œ ** β€œ denotes the B side

    Adding: If you are a variant collector or a completionist, there is currently a B side 10 listed on ebay. And no, it is not my card. πŸ˜‰

    At the very least you may just want to screen grab and keep a file to see which one truly has the lower pop. I own a few and the B side seems to be just a tad bit lower within the grade. I’ve found you can never have too much information or too big of a comparable picture database on such items. Over time little nuances can emerge that can result in much larger premiums being paid. The β€˜79 OPC Gretzky first run skate lines come to mind.

    Apologies in advance for rambling.

    Quite the contrary - what an excellent and informative post!

    We keep a β€˜first name’ list, like they did in Jerry Seinfeld’s lobby, to make this a friendlier place.

    If you note the rest of the post, I also mentioned the β€˜52 Mantle and β€˜79 Gretzky. I do like the franchise, but more in to variants of any classic card or line and yes, Star Wars cards fit that bill too. πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

    Understood RT (artee) the Star Wars guys know who Robert Fisher was ( RIP). While I don't like the Star Wars series of movies myself, I dealt with enough guys who followed that franchise to learn the big dogs in case I needed some hard to locate card.
    So when you said your name was Robert this old mans mind immediately flashed to the "Fish" as he was affectionately called :'( I used to call him "Moby" as he was a whale buyer of anything Star Wars. Just a bunch of old man musings of the past going here you can ignore me.

    I’ve been here less than five years but in that time I’ve seen nothing but love from fellow collectors for posted stuff from vintage to modern and with all kinds of β€˜stuff’.

    Half the problem becomes you start falling in love (and wanting) it ALL!

    @Stone193 - I want to show off his Exhibit machine as my own and play with like 6 of his board games!

    @grote15 - I want to open his unopened collection!

    @Dpeck100 - I am in love with his Hulk Hogan stuff. IN LOVE! Saying my prayers and eating my vitamins!

    @LarkinCollector - I want to build a golf card collection ON PAR with his.

    @bishop - I would like to have a cup of coffee and a 15 month conversation with.

    @JoeBanzai - if Kill a brew (or two) with him.

    @DBesse27 - sometimes I feel the hand of God was involved in our meeting; you know? Like divine Providence or something... ;)

    @ReggieCleveland - Me, him, Hasselhoff and a cheeseburger

    1998 Futera Platinum Joe Louis/Ezzard Charles centerpiece card. You can see it in the middle. Finally found it. Hey Joe, buddy, I'll sneak to the mailbox and pick you up when you get here. I've got your room ready for you, with a little mint on the your pillow, just the way you like it. If you need extra soap or towels, just let me know.

    @LarkinCollector - I want to build a golf card collection ON PAR with his.

    Thanks, Tim! Now I'm curious if @artee was perhaps named after a famous golfer, given some of his Braves posts and the Atlanta connection with R.T. Jones (more commonly known as Bobby), founder and designer of Augusta.

    You could be on the right β€œTrail”. Only thing messing it up though is the last initial. RTE versus RTJ.

    I do have a few golf cards and only live about an hour from Augusta, but in SC.
