CW,
Heartfelt congrats-- it was a long search but the patience paid off as you have one of the two best-looking 3's I've ever laid eyes on (the other being my old one!). Centering like that on a #311 does not come around too often. In fact it is downright impossible to find. 99.9% of the #311's that come up are poorly centered, forget centering like your new specimen. Yours makes only FIVE I've ever seen below 9-grade that are perfectly centered like that.
It is a great new piece to what was already a world-class collection. Glad to have provided any small measure of help and counsel along the way, my friend. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous card!
I just noticed that when I admire a #311 Mantle, I have to look back like after the fourth time to even notice the sticker grade; all I stare at is central image and centering.
Best,
Matt
