First time posting in the pickup thread. Hopefully the photo comes thru.
Picked this up last week. I just love the 52 Bowmans. edit: looks like the focus is a bit soft. Will have to work on that... Last edited by Julz24; 05-12-2013 at 08:10 PM. |

Just picked up the Dorman postcard below, 2 Mantle Requena photos, and another Venezuelan Topps. Cannot get the Requena photos to post but pretty excited about adding such nice, but affordable, Mantles to my collection.

What a pose! Such RAW POWER right then and there, early on. Even his sig seems ready to uncoil. Good one, Chris.

Very nice Doby, Julz - I also love the '52 Bowmans, as they were my first card set as a kid. The focus, or registration, is of course a common problem with them. I think I put together about three or four sets just trying to upgrade from fuzzy focus to sharp registration.

Thanks to a fellow board member for a smooth transaction. A nice card that fits my modest budget. Funny thing is - a little while ago, I didn't think I would get the Mantle Rookie any time soon - so I purchased a nice looking 1953 Bowman instead.
..then decided to go for a 1951 Bowman. Saved a little...sold an N172 Keefe...and had planned on a nice SCG40 or PSA 3. ...some household issues came up and decided a "2" would fit my collection nicely instead. If I had sold the '53 Bowman, I may have been able to get a grade higher...but I really do like the '53 and didn't want to part with it. ...oh, and my scanner sucks. |
