Was out of town on business this week, and found a cool little card shop there. The guy gave me some very reasonable prices. The Mantle is really freaking nice, sharper corners than this pic reveals. The Aaron and Williams are a bit rough surface wise, but no wrinkles and nice color on both, and the price was right.
When I was a kid, I was waiting in line at a card show to get Alan Trammell's autograph, and Dave Winfield walked by me. He literally brushed me aside to cut across the line, and I just looked up and stared. To this day, I have never seen such a huge and impressive man. He was like a Greek god. I'll never forget that, and it's cool to finally have his rookie card.
