Thank you for your time, Joe. Just as I wrote in my book, the people in Kansas City are friendly and helpful.
Frankly, I was surprised that magnificent Mantle went for so little. Few specimens get a numerical grade, and this was ultra high grade for the issue. I will never know how high the winning bidder was prepared to go, though, as my dear wife has reminded me on a few occasions.
Regardless, thanks again Joe for your help to me. I wish you the very best, sir. ---Brian Powell
