			These 61’s arrived in today’s mail.  Is it just me or does this set not get a lot of love?  I guess the ‘63 and ‘65 Topps issues would win a design contest over ‘61, but I still like them.  This Aaron is cool because it shows you that old Milwaukee uniform with the black tomahawk - a lot of folks forget that it was not always red.  And Yogi, while approaching the twilight of his career - still has a sweet smile and there is the classic left field backdrop of original Yankee Stadium.   More than happy with this mail day...and maybe now I’ll pickup some cheaper 61’s to go alone with these...

			I love this set. My second favorite behind the '57 set. I like it much better than those other 2. The only 2 reasons I have yet to start working on it is because there are 7 Mantle cards and the high #s. Although I found a few high #s for a really good price. Wound up passing on them as I'm not doing the set though.

			You mean how everything here is constantly all about Mickey Mantle and not a single collector ever admits they collect Mantles only because his cards continually carry great monetary value? Yup, I'm still there.

			Nice 52, Wynn, Peter. That card seems to have gained a lot of traction since I first joined the site a couple years ago. Wish my bottom left and top right were in a little better condition like your's, but overall I am pretty happy with my copy as well. Funny story about him in this HOF article from Mickey Vernon.  https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/wynn-early

			Nice 52's, guys! Can you tell why Lopat only graded a 3, Adam? Looks much nicer in your pic and reminds me of my Kuzava, which, to this day is a grade I can't figure out.

			Grabbed both these beauties at a card show for 10 bucks. The Ford does have a small crease across it, but at that price I couldn't pass them up plus, this is my first vintage Mickey.   Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

			Thanks, Ray. The centering and clarity caught my eye.  I like 52s in this range.  I agree with the grade technically: corner wear and very minor corner creases.  Barely noticeable.

			Congratulations, Tony, on that beautiful Duke Snider.  I have always thought this pose, also used on the 1953-55 Stahl-Meyer Franks cards, was the very best one taken of Duke.  His 1954 Red Heart is sweet as well, but I love this one.  There's this deep sense of exuberant joy and confidence on his countenance; l love it.  Way da go, bro! If you ever decide you want to learn more about the Dan Dees, I devoted a chapter to them in my book, concentrating on a blazing mint find involving 13 of the 14 Cleveland Indians that were in the set. Same with the Stahl-Meyers, as I recall you were able to get a Mickey Mantle in the last few years.  Regardless, I'm happy for your latest acquisition, Tony. Take care. ---Brian Powell |
