February Pickups

[tonyo]

this one arrived friday.

By far the most I've spent on one card. As I wrote in another thread, I'm still trying to come to grips with that, but I'm very happy to have it! This is the jpeg from the listing. The card in hand is just as bright and colorful as the scan shows.

Nice one Tony. I was eyeballing that one. I'm finding it hard to put aside money for that card when there is so much other stuff I want.

Congratulations!! Wow!! So many of us can only dream of such an addition!

Matt, that 53 Topps Mantle is really sharp looking. Hard to find a copy like that dead centered!

Tony congrats on the 52 Mantle! That card seems to be growing in value day by day. Love the color on it!

Beautiful card Tony! Congrats on checking that one off the list. You don't get much nicer in a 1.

Tony-- outstanding card. Must feel great to admire it. I have that image on my laptop desktop, my desk, my phone, even my coffee table. Top of its grade as well. The central image and near even borders hit the eye so well. Congrats!

Beautiful Mantle Tony, now that's a "poor" example worth spending a little extra cabbage on

When it comes to the 52 Mantle the cleanliness of the image itself is most important. Too many faded and washed out fronts on the market out there. Nice get my friend.

Thanks Everyone!

I was slightly hesitant to pull the trigger, but felt like I was getting a fair price (in the current market anyway).

All of your good words help me justify.....


Happy Collecting
