Presented here is the key card from the unique 1974 Topps Deckle Edge issue, the 2 7/8-by-5-inch black-and-white cards that were a test issue thought to be limited to the Northeast. While the offered example of the far-and-away most important card in this issue carries a PSA 4 designation, it looks suspiciously like the high-grade colleagues from the same issue in this auction; we invite careful scrutiny of the digital image provided. The cards feature a blue spot-color facsimile autograph on the front and blue spot-color cursive writing detailing a famous moment, along with a newspaper-like printed entry, on the back. A unique die-cut border gives the edges a scalloped effect, which of course adds significantly to condition sensitivity. Mix in the dramatically limited distribution of a test issue and the ingredients are present for a monster artifact.
