| Comments: At my first
National, in Atlantic City, NJ in 2003, I purchased a 1931 W517
SGC 60 card from seller Joceleyn Kaligis. In September, 2007 I replaced
the card with a SGC 50 example of the 1926-9 Exhibits postcard.
I also had a Travis Jackson representing the W517 issue; so the
move would get me a new type card. In April, 2010 I upgraded to
this SGC 60 example with an eBay auction win from seller S. Rice.
