I got this beauty in the mail today, part of the Roberto Clemente master set I'm building. I couldn't believe how nice it was once I got it in my hands. When the seller said it was mint, they weren't kidding. This is at least an 8.5, maybe a 9. It looks like it just came off the printing press yesterday, but it's 40 years old.
![]() The surface is flawless, the corners and edges are sharp, and the centering is magnificent. This will look really good in a SGC holder. ![]()

I have been looking for the Mantle/Mays/Maris for a long time and it finally came up for sale as part of a set of what I thought would be all duplicates of stuff I already have. Fortunately, the seller included the color photo, which I have never seen before, and one of the other postcards ended up being a variation that I was previously unaware of. All in all a good purchase.

nice pick up Chris on that Mantle...i actually saw that last night and was gonna put in a bid, i felt it looked 'strong' went higher than a previous same one.
It was one of those oddball items, that i normally would of got, but passed on. I got my Greg Businennau lots in just today and got my Hank Aarron RC a few days ago.

Nice pickup Zach. Love that issue, and I think the price will only be going up as PSA expands its grading to magazine cut outs.

![]() I spent some time looking for one with centering on the front and back, but it only needs to be 90/10 on the back to not affect the overall score. When I send it in to SGC, I'll report back on what it got.

A couple more for the Lou Brock collection. The Red Barn is a variation, there is usually an address just above the "Make your own Sundae" and below the red area. The Big K Mart I think is mid to late 80's. I worked at Kmart during that time, and I think that is when they went to the Big K Marts to try and compete with Wal Mart.
