Finding them isn't as tough as getting one that doesn't cost a fortune. After that 7.0 sold in the Heritage auction for $2400, I didn't think I'd find one for a reasonable price, but I got lucky. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, look at that, a 7.0 manual and a virtually perfect 9.8 cartridge! To get it to 9.2, it would require an 8.5 manual. And to get it to 9.4 it would require a 9.4 manual.

Arkturus 15 Member · Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Had a bad feeling about that manual from the get go. Isnt easy finding a mint manual either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caliboy24 4 Member · Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thats a cool white bullet PO with Tyson's signature, congrats! Question, how did PSA/DNA authenticate the signature? Was it sent there first before being sent to WATA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arkturus 15 Member · Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 So Mike Tyson was doing a signing maybe 9-10 years ago near my house at a local memorabilia store. Had him sign it for me in person and PSA had a booth right next to Mike to authenticate all the autos. The tiny PSA sticker is on the inside of the top flap and I had WATA keep my PSA proof card separated from the case. Was pretty cool meeting him he was pumped to see his game and faked a punch at my face. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kell 23 Member · Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I've never asked for an autograph, but getting that game signed by him would be pretty damn cool. Not a fan of CIB grading, but this is a great example of when CIB grading makes sense. Congrats, nice piece! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty neat story of the origins and proof of signature. I don’t normally like seeing signatures on a game, but in this case, it makes it seem more alluring. Congrats!
