While we can't guarantee a muber grade on hand cut cards this is a decent candidate. The cuts are square, consistent and seem to be on the mark. There is, however, a notch in the right border that would possibly be treated as damage as opposed to a cut issue. If so while the rest of the card would grade EX withonly minor to light wear, the nothc would likely knock it down to GOOD assuming they agreed to give it a number.

Long-time friend of the company Carl Frysinger recently passed and made arrangements to consign his collection. With a collection that stretched from 1887 - 2022 and was as close to comprehensive as we've ever seen, he was one of the foremost Phillies collectors in the hobby. In his memory The Collector Connection will be donating 1% of our portion of the proceeds of the sale of his items to the Central PA Foodbank in Carl’s name.

We are finishing up Carl's amazing lifetime collection in this auction and would like to thank everyone who supported the efforts, especially those who made an extra donation on top of our efforts. We will be sending a little over $1000 to the foodbank in Carl's name.
