Default Yaz had a big September

Don't forget that Yaz entered September batting .285, trailing Oliva at .289. He batted around .370 or so in September just to get to .301.

Without his big Septmeber the AL batting champion would have been .290

This was an early birthday present to myself. Just came today and I was blown away by it, in hand. I have never been happier with a card purchase than this one. As happy, yes, but never happier.

I suspected it was sitting a little crooked in the eBay scan, which it was (this is the eBay scan; I am far too lazy right now to do another).

I would bet the farm this card-- if cracked and resubmitted-- will come back an 8. In this rare case I think I have to do just that. I've had mis-graded 7s go to 9s in the past, and this card seems as much a lock as those rare instances were. Over the moon with this Mick!

I remember opening an 88 Fleer wax box with my brother, which our father bought us. Aside from that fond memory, I have always found that set so nice to look at. The Donny from that set is one of my favorite cards of all time. The Smoltz is a great photo, and the sig looks great on it.

Thanks Matt, was pleasantly surprised when I opened the envelope today...looked better in person than it did in the EBAY scan.

That's fine Matt, I'll send you all my 1988 Fleer for that Mantle...come on, be a pal!

I sure would not have that card regarded - PSA has been disappointing me that way this year and I would hate to see you loose a 6.5 - be satisfied...that is a great card! But that's just my opinion...I'm happy with my PSA-5.

Just got this one in the mail for my '52 set. I've NEVER seen this one so well centered, and paid a hefty premium for it, but totally worth it.

^^^Beautiful card! '52s almost look unnatural when they're centered that perfectly.

Congrats on the Mantle, Matt!
