While I'm disappointed at no Roger or Mickey, you always manage to select interesting subjects.
While I'm talking to you, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the fantasy 1952 Red Man Tobacco card you rendered of Mr. Mantle. You've indeed captured the aura and character of those wonderful cards. It took me a while to unwrap your makeshift wrapper that was attached to the quality thick and stiff corrugated cardboard. My heart was in my throat, bro! A large Card-Saver would have reduced some of my raised blood pressure.
Once freed, he was gently placed inside a Mylar Snug, then mounted inside a nice Capital Plastics Co. quarter-inch thick four-screw lucite holder. I will proudly place it with my Stahl-Meyer, Post Cereal, Salada Coins, et al. Sometimes a fantasy gem fits in with the genuine. Thanks again, Bob. --Brian Powell
