Comments: Dave Winfield is my favorite ballplayer and I chose the 1986 Woolworth issue as the portrait card for my collection when I won a PSA 10 on eBay in April, 2003. In November, 2008 I swapped it out for a PSA 7 1980 Burger King card with another eBay win. I was able to upgrade to a beautiful SGC 96 example from seller Just Collect Inc. It showed up in one of my eBay searches in June, 2009 and my bid was enough to win (total - $35.50). I have since purchased several more raw copies including a group of twenty (20) in May, 2011 for $6.81 including S&H on eBay. Unfortunately, none of them have been worthy of submission to PSA. I'm still holding out hope in finding a GEM MT copy someday.

UPDATE: So, I had a SGC 96 of this card but couldn't pass up a PSA 9 when an example popped up on the bay in 2020.  It wasn't a PSA 10 which would have been ideal, but it was another beautiful copy of the card - the highest graded example to date according to the population reports.  The quest for a gem copy continues...

UPDATE: The one and only PSA 10 ever to be graded first showed up on eBay sometime in 2021. Rick Probstein had it listed with a Buy It Now ~$1900. The card would disappear for periods of time and then re-appear with a lower price. As a so-called businessman I thought he might be interested in working a deal off eBay so I reached out to him but never got a call back or an email response. His loss as I was willing to make a substantial offer. To my benefit, the card was eventually consigned to Heritage Auctions and showed up in their Winter 2022 auction (Nov/Dec). I won the card for $624.83 including fees. It was a total score considering I was willing to pay nearly double if the dealer simply returned my messages...I WIN!!!
