Wacky Ludlows

I am looking to acquire some first series Wacky Ludlows (preferably PSA graded 7+). I understand they are super tough and won't be inexpensive to obtain, but if you have any available or know of someone who does, please let me know. Thanks!

First series ludlows are also a little dicey because of the temptation for scammers to take 2nd series luds and do the ol' peel and transplant. One can usually catch this by comparing the die-cut showing through back of the card with the actual sticker (under a light source). I have all the confidence in the world in PSA when it comes to sports cards and any non-sports issues that are "sports card-like", but I'm not so sure they know what to look for with wackys. They fail to downgrade wackys for tanning issues and off-center die cut punching, while they hammer them for the "tread marks" which are nearly unavoidable for series 6-14. My point is if I were in the market for 1st series ludlows I'm not sure whether I'd prefer them graded or raw (so they could be more easily examined).
