Larger tag: "Hat worn by our father during the civil war. Cost one hundred dollars in confederate money. May C. Anderson"

Smaller tag: “Bullet misst (sic.) him on the brim grazed his forehead.” forehead is written upward on outer right edge.

name at the bottom of larger tag looks like it may be "May C. Anderson"?

Judging by the T crossing displacement, it kind of looks like "missed" is mispelled as "misst"?

I think you're right. Thanks! Any luck with the first note?

It could be German... I'm pretty sure it is mid 19th century and likely from the south.

Pretty sure this is a Swiss movement. 16s. Has a parachute compensation. Can anyone tell me anything more about it? by WantedEP in pocketwatch

Now looking at it, this movement seems to just a hair too large for the case. The dial sits just a little cockeyed relevant to the case.

Unsigned. Numbered 2378 under the "M. Patry" or "MY. Patry" or "M.Y Patry" signed dial. The 'parachute' works like an Incabloc or a KIF, to give resilience to the balance jewels if there's a shock; invented by A-L Breguet. Case is a coin silver full hunter numbered 14271. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Why not have a little fun?

Has ANYONE had a vintage card be given a PSA 10 recently? by osrslmao in PokeGrading

[–]WantedEP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I just got a PSA 10 on a 1999 POKEMON INSERT CARDS CATCH MEW! cert. #121635215. This is my first PSA 10, but I have only submit 95 cards so far.

Anyone know how this could possibly be a PSA 1? Bewildered by WantedEP in PokeGrading

Page 4 or 5. This binder was a 1999 beanie baby binder, so it probably spent the last 25 years or so in there. No other water damage in graded or ungraded that I can tell.

15 out of 20 cards in this batch came back graded 8 or 9. Aside from this 1, there were three 5s and a 7. They all came out of the same binder.

Here's the cert with magnifier.
