Congrats! Beautiful layout.

I threw in a 58 Mantle/Aaron because that card has sentimental value.

I call BS on this. You threw that in for OCD symmetry. And for that, I thank you.

I made the decision to complete every Topps set from 1952 to 1973 in EX-MT to NM a couple months ago, which forces a Mantle run on me. Hey, it could happen!

I'm a little closer now as I won a four card Mantle lot on REA this weekend. So, I will have 1961, 1963, 1966, and 1967 in PSA 7 soon. I already have the 66 so I'll be looking to trade for one of the years I don't have. My mentality is to knock out the Mantles now as they aren't going down in value any time some soon and I don't want to pay more later.

I guess I should have said I bought the Mantle/Aaron for sentimental reasons. I included it in the picture because I own it and wanted a shot of all of my Mantle cards. I never thought about leaving it out, and the shot would have been symmetrical either way as the 62 could have went up a row.

Good luck with your project. Sounds like quite the undertaking, especially if you're buying them one or a few at a time.

Very nice cards as well!!

I'm just playing with ya. I love that card, too. And 1962 Manager's Dream with Hank and Ernie in the background looking at the Green Monster.

I'm buying large lots of raw cards and key cards graded so it is a mix of big pick-ups and one or two at a time. Ran out of money so time to catalog!
