Holiday Auction Closing December 3
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/4/2016
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 George III of the United Kingdom.
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 EX-MT 6 by PSA. This is one of five examples at its tier (with four graded higher) among a total of eleven copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. King George III (1738-1820) was the reigning English monarch during the time of the American Revolution. Excellent to Mint condition.
