Murph, I am so happy for you, bro! Wow, what a gorgeous Mantle! Honestly, I fail to grasp why SGC would not give this beauty a numerical grade. Regardless, it has been loved, of course, but the heart of this card, Mickey's perfect smiling face is magnificent! You bought my book, so you know the history and the lore of this baby. You did right well, my friend. I would have loved to have been in the room when you opened up your package, to see your face. I know mine put me on a cardboard cloud 9, from whence I've never come down. The only other card that did that for me was the 1952 Topps Mickey. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
I know you'll be having a great weekend! You look at that card, and you're a kid again.
The continued best to you, buddy. With this prized piece, Mr. Murphy, you've REALLY "escaped the ordinary"!--- Brian Powell
