Congrats - my guess they either didn't see or agree with the no-fault policy.

This looks like a great candidate to send in to CGC . . . as long as you can put up with the wait time - Nize copy!

Just keep it in a Mylar with a backboard and you'll forget that chunk is even missing . . .

Nice find! Don't really care personally what CGC would think about them.

That's definitely Silver-tinted . . .

I dunno, I think Lobo is still cool . . . and seriously undervalued.

Why George, I'll start you at a $20,000 salary and you can take that sweet little wife of yours on vacation twice a year . . .

@THE_BEYONDER My/your innocuous little posts got removed - any idea why?

It take at least a year for a recovery there. Covid money is that cause. I'm in no rush.
