Comments: In April, 2009
I purchased two raw examples on eBay from seller Chock Full of Cards
(gretch2662). I submitted them to PSA and they graded NM 7 and NM-MT
8 in February, 2010. I picked up another raw example in April, 2011.
But, before I could submit it a bunch of PSA 10 Perez-Steele cards
popped up on the bay in November, 2011 from seller 4 Sharp Corners
as Buy It Nows. I won this GEM MT Joe Williams along with Pud Galvin,
Rube Foster, Bullet Joe Rogan, William Hulbert, and Bill Foster.
