Pat,
Thanks for the kind words. That Mays was actually an upgrade to the 5.5 I had. Yes, this 5 blew away my old 5.5. I know a lot set registry guys find that difficult to understand because all they think about is numbers, but when you buy the card and not the holder it was an obvious choice for me as the 5 looked way better than my 5.5.
Yes, a good scanner makes all the difference in the world. Great scan and really great card, Pat. That Mantle is absolutely awesome. I think you owe me a new keyboard as that card left me drooling all over mine.
As far as building the set, I've picked up most of the commons in the $5 range and you can get the stars in the PSA 5 or SGC 60-70 range pretty reasonably. I say go for it, Pat. Heck, you've already knocked out two of the biggies.
