@mikebeacom @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @CardsStory @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @70sBaseball @1974Baseball @BigHairPlasGras @PolyesterUnis Pic is from a year ago; I think I based it on late-2020 Beckett guide values but can’t remember for sure. The ‘78 Rose is a double-print so I guess that depresses value. — PolitiTweet.org
