Comin' in hot this morning. I got this in a trade in the last few years, remarkably. Not sure I agree w/ the 3 grade, but...whatever. It's a Koufax second-year card, and that speaks for itself.

very nice. strong eye appeal due to excellent centering. the corners no doubt cost you a couple of grades, but no matter. finding a second year koufax at a reasonable price is fantastic.

FWIW, it was already graded when the trade was made. Was pleasantly surprised with the centering when I got it in-hand.
 
Is that an oversized card or a regular sized one? I have a pile of two different Pacific oversized cards somewhere around here and that Grbac looks similar to one of those sets. That GG prefix on the card number looks familiar too..
Ya they're oversized... the set is Gridiron Gems. I've got a few myself.
 
Of all the cards I have, this one means the most to me. My first "best" friend gave me this for a birthday present in the 80s (I was born in 1977). I had no attachment to the Mets or Tom Seaver, but he knew I collected cards (we traded) and it was an older card of a star, so he gave it to me. There's a long story in the years later, but it means a lot to me.
