Sharp probably isn't the right word to use for a card with round corners. At a glance we thought it had a legit shot at an 8, then we noticed some tiny surface wrinkling in the tip of the upper right corner. Still a HOF'er from the tougher blue back series is a nice card, and visually it's a heckuva 5.

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.
