Thanks guys I really appreciate it! This 59 really caught my eye with the red background and black SGC frame. Just makes the card pop. Still aways to go on my Mantle run, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Jason I agree, I remember my grandpa telling me stories about how when he was a kid. Putting the cards in bike spokes, flinging them at walls, and other games. Then the dreaded story of when he went to college and his mom throwing all of them away. Makes you wonder how these higher grade examples were treated from being pulled out the pack, to how they are now preserved in their respective holders.
