Description

Graded EX 5 by SGC. New York Giants. Although cards from this set are found with seven different background colors, collectors have come to appreciate purple backgrounds not only for their aesthetics but for their rarity (they are thought by many to be the scarcest). This particular example has been pedigreed by SGC as originating from the collection of legendary hobby pioneer Frank Nagy.
