Another stellar baseball card with that Mays right there. Finding a 69 with that centering and so square is quite the feat for a collector. 69s are pretty impossible because of that issue.

I can really appreciate a super rare piece like that Peanut Butter card; pieces like that really distinguish a collection.

Thanks regarding the kind words on the 55B. It was an eBay auction that I was sweating, due to the more intense than usual scramble going on these days for Mantles. It was a new high price for the grade I believe, but thankfully not by as much as I feared, LOL.

As I try and build the prettiest Mick Run, card for card, that I can, I continue to be amazed by how effectively rare some Mantles are to find if one is seeking certain attributes. The pop numbers really belie the difficulty.
