A single trading card from Upper Deck's "Hair Cuts" redemption issue is presented. The card contains an encapsulated strand of actual hair from its subject, King Edward VI of England.
The "Hair Cuts" series was distributed in extremely limited numbers through a redemption offer in "Piece of History" baseball. A variety of important personages from the past are featured on individual cards, and each one of these exclusive collectibles is a marvel of creativity. A statement from University Archives – an organization that was instrumental in the production of the cards – appears on the back of each piece; this declaration attests to each hair strand's authenticity, and serves as the COA for the subject item.
Graded MINT 9 by PSA. This is one of just three copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. King Edward VI (1537-1553) was an English monarch who was crowned at the age of nine and passed away before his sixteenth birthday. Mint condition.
