Remember in "the Natural", how Gus had the Magic Eye that "sees all". It could see the money in Roy's pockets, well the paper money, anyway.

You've got the magic eye.

First of all, there has to be something I'm not seeing on that '62 Maris. Because there's no way I'm seeing a 4 when I look at it. It's got really nice edges, which isn't easy with that wood grain, and the centering is nice, too. The '62 Topps are not quite the '71s with the black, but that wood paneling really shows edge flaws. That's a steal for that card. And secondly, as soon as I saw the Molitor/Trammell, I was looking for the black ink. That card is absolutely clean. Beautiful pickup.

You just got a bunch of nice cards.
