I much prefer that thought to the guy sitting at home right now ripping out the matches and chucking them in the trash so he can send the thing off for grading

One of the registry guys asked me to take the matches out for him. He got a PSA 4 out of it and the matches and a staple in a toploader! Haha

Nicely done. Glad you didn't destroy it in the process. It's nice that it comes apart like that.

Whoa, that's a lot of wine you had to drink to calm your fears of destroying the matchbook and steady your hands to be able to do such a great job.

Haha... yea the guy I took the staple out for owns an Italian restaurant so I’m sure the wine corks are plentiful his pic.

Very nice. What else do you have there if you don’t mind me asking?

BOTH versions of ALL the 1955 Exhibit postcard backs should be recognized. The SCD Standard Catalog notes both backs, the plain line or the line with the words A MUTOSCOPE CARD in it.

SGC has graded and noted for me my Jackie Robinson as a Mutoscope back. PSA should do this too.

Thanks Chris. Manny’s, the 2 Requena’s, equitable, Gardner, another Rawlings... It will be interesting to see what they end up including. I noticed they changed the flip, in the span of two weeks, for the Rawlings staff from 1950-1970 to 1950’s-1970’s. Maybe they won’t include those in the Master since the dates go past Mick’s playing career.
PSA told me with the Holiday Inn Mantle 8x10 that they would grade it if there was more published data. If Kelly would have shown pics in his SCD article no doubt they would have.

Ben, did you tell them the picture on the right was from a 1954 All-Star photo set or did they automatically put that on? I ask because that is the same photo used in a Yankee photo set that I think is from 1956. It could very well be used in Yankee photo sets from other years as well.

Mike - I submitted it as a crossover from an SGC slab that identified it as a 1954 A.S. Photo Pack, of course it was an SGC 4 and PSA downgraded it to a 3.5
I thought PSA kept the flips for crossovers to send back to the other grading companies but i guess the onus is on the collector now.

Chris - Yea i would love to hear why the 51 self promo card isn't recognized since it is clearly documented. Maybe since Mantle probably issued it himself? I wonder if there are any other self promotion items graded by tpg...
