I've been focusing more on 50s HOF rookies and Mantle cards, but have picked up a pre-war card here and there. You have some great cards, and I'm a big fan of that 33 Gehrig. I'd love to add one some day.

"Riding to the local card shop..." used to be one of my favorite ways to pass time on a summer day. In fact, I took a job at one opening wax boxes and sorting the stars. I don't think I was actually compensated, which probably broke some child labor laws, but I wasn't complaining.
At some point I plan to shift focus to post war, and a 51 B Mantle will be first on the list. My only hesitation is that the price seems to be jumping daily. Thanks for the welcome!
