Nice pick-up on the Mantle Rookie, Derek. That knocks off the most expensive post-war rookie card from the list............

...it is, unless you and I go head-to-head on a 1953 Venezuelan League Aparicio!!...

Derek:

I'm sure that there are plenty of those to go around. Why don't you let me have the first one that comes up for sale/auction and then I'll lay off the rest.........

After finishing the T201 set, it's time to stay in the theme and go with the 1955 Doubleheaders. So far, I have an unopened pack (GAI 6) with Fred Marsh/Thies card inside, the Marsh Thies card (ungraded), Bilko/Milliken (UG), Spahn/Brewer (UG), Aaron/Herbert (SGC 70) and these two that I picked up this month!

This is a great set, both because of the unique double cards and because when you get the whole set the backs form great panoramic pictures. The packs became fairly plentiful recently and there are no surprises about what you have.

I recently found out one of the players in the 1955 DH set, Gair Allie ( pictured with Grady Hatton) still owns a Sports bar here in San Antonio

Hi Al - i really look forward to acquiring the whole set to check out the stadium shot. I just may have to break a few out of the PSA/GC holders to do it. I'm trying to collect most of them raw, but a nice mid-grade graded example of a HOF card, for a great price, is hard to pass up.

That's pretty cool that Allie is still around. Not too many of these guys are still here.

1949 Bowman strip of 4 .....

Neat item Leon

[novakjr]

Not the greatest item. Seems kinda pointless to have had it slabbed. But I'm glad it was, because the price was pretty nice thanks to that 3..
