"Thanks Doug! This was one originally listed for quite a bit and I threw an obvious cowbell, considering it's "uniqueness" and the seller accepted. I've chatted with the seller a few times since then and he seemed genuine with his…"
"Nice! So we have some approval from the forum, we have comparable examples located, we have a full LOA from JSA and we have a “likely to pass” from Beckett. PSA would just be a cherry on top but even without their blessings I think you…"
