May get some graded. Also Attached are a few of my first pickups. They aren't as great as many I've seen on here, but it's my "starter lot". Comments on grade-ability of any of the cards would be appreciated.

Chris, I had to comment on the 1960 Mantle. While I don't think it would grade much higher than a 5 due to corner and edge issues, it is still an impressive copy for a couple of reasons. The 1960 mantle is often off-centered, has horrible registration, or has print defects (usually yellow markings in the red area). This card is free of these common flaws. The centering is fantastic. The image is extremely clear and registered, and it is free of print defects. Very nice mid-grade card.
