Comments: In May, 2003 I purchased this card raw on eBay. Soon thereafter I submitted it to PSA and they graded it MINT. The tribute card is a placeholder until I have the means to buy an item contemporary to Rusie's career. I'd really like a 1886 H812 New York Baseball Club - just need to set aside enough money and get lucky finding one. I believe there's only one known example out there. Or, a N403 Yum Yum - that would be a nice fit too!
