Comments: In October, 2002 I started with a tribute card - a 1980 TCMA Galasso, which I subsequently had graded GEM MT by PSA in January of the following year. In November, 2004 I picked up an issue contemporary to his career, a raw example of the W575 card advertised in the auction as VG-EX. Upon receipt I discovered an ink stamp on the reverse. In November, 2005 I upgraded and won an eBay auction for a SGC 50 example. I was able to upgrade to this PSA 5 in January, 2006 off eBay from seller and hobby friend, Brian Hodes. I've been looking for a higher graded example ever since and have had no luck finding one.
