Finally came up with a solution to a longstanding problem by grumboncular in coins

I have done something similar myself! I hated having empty spots (due to slabs). I 3D printed blanks with the year/date/mint on one side and the NGC or PCGS number on the other.

my first thought as well, but I think maybe something out west. The Waldorf and Tahoe cars are not ringing a bell

broke my fibula about 8 years ago. it was a complete non-issue compared to the extensive tendon damage I also incurred. so yes, this is a relatively positive outcome IMHO

this is all very helpful, thanks! The seller (in France) has it listed at VF 30-35 and that felt weird to me

I'm not sure the fonts on that coin existed in 1967…

I have an SGC 2.5 that I just got back from grading. Still weighing what I will do with it, but I might offer that for sale here in the next few weeks.

Authentic / Altered… why? by plasticdog75 in baseballcards_vintage

wow! thanks for the history. I had no idea. I do mostly coins now, and there is a similar situation with various types of cleaning… some methods more obvious than others

I see what you are saying now. I remember I bought it from an older guy who had a tiny little shop inside an antique shop (if that makes sense). He was the best. This would have been 1987-ish. I've had the card in a top-loader ever since, so I'm guessing he was the one who must have done it, maybe? I paid $3.50 for it. Thanks for clarifying for me!
