sick card man!!! congrats!!! hoping to pick one up someday!!

[arexcrooke]

Thanks! Got it a very fair price too. I'm very happy with it!

Finally picked this card up for my MLB Post-war Rookie card set and also for my 69 Topps set (375 so far). I wish it was centered a little better as with most of my set, this will have to do.

A month early for Mr. October but man that is a suhweet card!

Agree, that's a great looking card....that weird 'blip' in the upper right border would bother me more than the centering.

another one for the signed mantle run:



and a pair of the infamous 64 floods, but the veni versions!

My wife convinced me to buy these cards on the way out of the East Coast National. The dealer had to remove the cover from his cases and find the case that had the cards. By the time he did all that I knew I was going to feel obligated to buy the cards.

They were both newly SGC graded. I cracked them both out and brought them back the next day and submitted them to PSA.

Now I'll have to keep these cards forever: Mantle and Musical (how she referred to the cards).

[MikeGarcia]

Can you share the SGC grades with us ? Thanks.

Mantle SGC 7.5
Musial SGC 8

I thought the Mantle was undergraded but felt that if I left it in the SGC holder there was no way PSA would have graded it higher.

I was surprised that Musial went down .5 but was OK with it.

[MikeGarcia]

..." Centering : 9.5 " on any '65 Topps leaders card is grounds in itself for hitting the button ; Killer , Boog and Mick on the other side is just icing on the cake...

That Musial is gorgeous!

[begsu1013]

for sure! Musical to my ears!!

I have never paid a lot of attention to the Exhibits, but I am thinking I need to...

[baseballfan]

Beauties!!!

[MikeGarcia]

...unopened and clean......thankfully it had been stored very well since it was new ..... I was thinking : the kid had fifteen cents ...and he could have bought THREE nickle PACKS of 1952 Topps.... but instead he bought this ---one 1952 "Star Cal Decals" of Willie Mays. Now that's a true fan...we all had our heroes I guess....

..I don't remember which year but Mr. Mays once had twenty stolen bases, 20 doubles , 20 triples , and 20 roundtrips by the end of the regular season.... and those numbers held up all the way
until 2007 , when Curt Granderson of my Tigers also put up those identical stats. Neat.

I took a slight break from picking up football RC's.

[Jcfowler6]

Well back to the Mantles we go I guess. Just picked one up and a Clemente.

Man, I just can't compete with you guys anymore! So switching genres, I grabbed the 1991 Premiere "Rap Pack" set for next to nothing. Highlights below.

Love it.

[jason.1969]

That's the one 1957 I really wish I had. Well, okay, Mantle also. But wow! Lovely RC of one of the greatest ever!

[stlcardsfan]

Thanks guys. I stopped in this coin shop on a whim. I had been in there in the past but probably not in 5 years. He has a little section of vintage. He said $70 and I said sold! There are a couple corner creases up top, worse on the right. Had always wanted this card but never really expected to own it. Made my day!

[ALR-bishop]

Wrong bird for you

[mickeymantle24]

Updated a few more of my Mantles...love the overall eye appeal on both.

[jason.1969]

I see more beautiful Mantles on this thread than I even knew existed. Ya'll are doing something right!

[jason.1969]

Well done. What is that last Williams?

Thanks, Jason. It is a 1947 Boston Red Sox Premium "Card ." It measures 6 1/2 × 9.

[jason.1969]

Congratulations! Hundreds of years ago, long after you're gone, there will only be one Jackie Robinson, the most important athlete of the 20th century and possibly ever.

[Jcfowler6]

#21 is always one of my favorite pickups.

Didn't know the right field wall at PNC Park is 21 feet high in honor of Roberto until this week.
