This card has residue from the bubble gum stick which can only be seen by turning the card just right to catch the light. Otherwise it has sharp corners with only the slightest ding or corner wear. Centering is 70/30. All of which is actually within the Near Mint range. Bu]t some consider the bubble gum stain an instant Poor condition.

This is a vintage non-sport trading card from the 1969 Dark Shadows TV series. The card is from the 2nd series with a green border, manufactured by Philadelphia Gum. It includes a quote from the show and is part of a puzzle set.

My camera or scanner doesn't do green very well.

Returns accepted. So why not?
