Comments: I first picked up a PSA 7 high-end rookie card of the winningest left-handed pitcher of all-time from Chris Kersich at Big Sportscards in August, 2000. The card exhibited near perfect centering, very strong corners and great color - a super-appealing card! Here it is:

UPDATE: In February, 2021 I randomly searched "1948 Leaf Spahn" on eBay and a beautiful SGC 8 popped up on the screen with a Buy It Now price of $6200. eBay charges the seller 10% off the final price so I figured I could get the card a little cheaper if I purchased it directly, plus I wouldn't have to pay taxes. For the past few years eBay has started tagging taxes onto each purchase making it a more expensive marketplace. We were able to contact each other and we negotiated a great price - approximately 56% of the last sold PSA 8 card. I was thrilled. And, upon receipt the card did not disappoint. Check out the color difference, brightness, and registration!
