Picked up another "low grade/high eye appeal" card for my Mantle display I'm working on.
I've been chipping away at this for a few months. Its taken longer than expected due to a couple "life issues", but i'm just about ready to bring everything to get it "pieced together".
I'd been looking for a couple "outside - the - box" items, and not your normal run of the mill basic Mantle run cards, combined with keeping the cost down on my project.
I always liked this particular image, for a variety of reasons.
Not only does he look happy, (which he did
NOT always) , but I wanted something that dated itself from back in that time frame, not just another Mantle card.
One of these Post issues was right in my wheelhouse.
Down to needing 2 more items, then I'll be finished.
Got this for a measly $40 + shipping, so for that price and eye appeal, I couldn't resist.
This is going to have to be freed from its slab.
I've cracked out a couple PSA cards.....any tips on breaking this one out?
