| Comments: My records
show I purchased a 1933 Goudey Sewell PSA 5 back in October, 2002.
I didn't like the card - I thought Sewell looks a little weird.
In March, 2005 I replaced it with a 1923 V117 SGC 40 and later upgraded
to a PSA 5 after winning a Kevin Savage Auction in December of that
year. I liked the card a lot but I also had a Bottomley and Schalk
from the same set. So, I looked for another portrait and found one
in the 1928 Exhibits set. In May, 2007 I won a SGC 30 example on
eBay. In August, 2008 I upgraded to a PSA 5 (MK) after winning another
eBay auction and improved to a PSA 6 (the highest graded) in June,
2010 courtesy of David Bryan. |

some mispelling and incorrect labels. The cards are unnumbered. |
