This is one of approximately two dozen Pink Shields known to exist, many of which are faded and/or damaged. It is clearly in the top 25% for both condition and color. The Red Backs have held their color very nicely and the only faded note is, as usual, the extremely light sensitive 25¢ Second Issue back. The Shield is in a heavy contemporary wood frame and is unmatted. As with virtually all pink and green Shields, all four hand-signed notes bear the Colby-Spinner signature combination, including the Grant-Sherman Fr. 1273SP which is found only on these colored Shields.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder.
