1974 Topps Deckle Edge

I've been waiting to post this one for a while.  Wish I could write a novella about the chase for this card. For the early part of my collecting career I simply couldn't afford this card.  Once I could afford it, one in good condition was nearly impossible to find.  I scoured online auctions of all types, cold called owners in the PSA Set Registry, setup all manner of online automated searches, etc.  Finally got this nice example on eBay last year.  Still debating about submitting to PSA for encapsulation just to keep the card safe.
