Thought on grade and problems? TPG in 48. Thanks!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

AU53-55 sharpness, dipped and retoned, although not unattractively so on the reverse! I agree with TypeCoin that it was probably put straight into an album.

When I saw this, I thought this was end roll toning rather than album toning. It was slabbed with the reverse side up. Someone wanted it more than I did and there was spirited bidding on this one. I liked it, but not to where it ended up.
