RARE 1954 TOPPS SCOOPS w/coating BYRD REACHES SOUTH POLE #56 PSA 6

Description: Hello, These Scoops cards are highly desirable and they cross many genres of collectibles. Topps made these cards at a time when they were competing with Bowman for a larger portion of the trading card industry. Because of that, Topps did put effort into making these cards something of quality that the consumer could and should enjoy. The accompanying information on the back is often worth the read and contains details that may not be found in history books. For example, the Custer card mentions that after he died, his heart was removed and eaten by the person who killed him. While doing some extensive research with these cards, I discovered the top card in a five cent pack was the only card that had the coating, while each of the single cards in the penny packs had the coating. Because of the art on the front of the card, the small percentage of cards that had the coating on them was typically removed. It is very rare to find these cards with coating on them and nearly impossible to find in high grade. To give you a perspective on how rare these cards are, PSA has it documented where they graded a total of 212 scratched Babe Ruth cards and ONLY a total of 5 Babe Ruth cards with the coating. As I go through and view the population report of the graded cards with coating, I continuously see where very minimal with the coating have been graded. The reason for this, they are EXTREMELY rare. Up for auction here is a 1954 Topps Scoops BYRD REACHES SOUTH POLE #56 card that still has its original coating intact. PSA has been in business for over 20 years and they indicate they have only ever graded 5 of these. I highly doubt that you will ever find a better coated card than this one. Here is a virtually once in a lifetime opportunity to add this scarce card to your collection. Winning bidder pays $2.95 S&H, whether if you win one card or 1000's....only one flat rate. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU WIN MULTIPLE CARDS AND THE INVOICE DOES NOT REFLECT THE SHIPPING DISCOUNT, PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO SEND AN UPDATED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
