Love seeing a big fish get hooked!

Great card Owen from an epic year for Scanlens. What a beauty!

You know that you now need an unsigned one to go with it? Job half done! Ha ha

For me it is the pinnacle of league cards...followed very closely by the Gasnier version....now just considering whether to get it graded or just cased by the Australian Card Grading service. They cant grade it due to the signature but it is smaller than normals cards and needs an appropriate case.....

Card Grading Australia will reject undersized cards sent to them and I dont think they would have the right holder size anyway. You might have to use a PSA/Beckett/SGC

Hey Owen do they not grade any of the 63 or 64 scanlens at all

Well reading the website it says they don't grade undersized cards which 63 & 64 are so my guess would be yes.

I will send an email today and confirm.

That is how I took it as well. I dont think that is good for business

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I rang them and they do grade smaller sized cards including cigarette cards....they make the case custom....

The reason they can't grade my 1963 is due to the unauthorised signature. I understand this as it is similar to a marked checklist....they would have to grade lower due to the pen marks.

I am going to get it encased though as they make really nice cases designed for the card...

Well done mate, one of the harder to get cards from that series too

It is still a rare card as not many are signed with his signature. It is a very debatable subject to sign or not to sign. It is a very nice card well done
