I recently picked this up quite reasonably - I think it's a beaut - aside from the centering - nice edges for a '71, sharp photo. I think this would have qualified as a PSA 8OC on a different day! But maybe the beauty is just in the eye of the beholder in this case...

Welcome to the forum Karl. Those 71's and their black borders are tough. Those are great looking corners on that one. I collected those from their packs as a kid....all long gone now. Congrats on your pick up....

Ed.........that's a tough one.......I've got 11/97 of the high numbers. The tough part is finding them centered and in VGEX to EX for decent prices. Seems like they're getting more expensive. I've picked off a couple here and there but then I have to think about the 4-5 big $$$ high numbers.....I'm not all in on them as of yet.....still working on some other 1960's Topps sets at the same time..........

Some "Hand Me Down" Mantles from the big brother. Sure as hell beats the hand me down clothes I used to get when we were kids! These will look great in my "Low Grade/Big Eye Appeal" Mantle Basic Set.

See, Greg, I knew I should have charged you a markup!

With beauties like those, i hate to put mine on here, but since i am into the E120 & E121's, these came in the mail Saturday...

@Matty/Greg..Nice Mantles guys.. too bad my brother is more modern era. I had to pass the 88 Donruss cards to someone

@Knole..yeah i been looking at your additions on the SGC boards. Keep in mind this is the post-war section. Still neat to show off those.

Thanks, Chris! Yep, no creases, but it has some well loved corners.
