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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily, it could have been even better if they didn't put a 7.0 manual in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 | 18 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliboy24 | 47 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkturus | 18 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kell | 102 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
