Added this 53 Bowman Color Mantle to my PC. Have one more big one that should arrive here any day now!

Nice looking 53 Bowman Mantle. Can't wait to see the next big arrival.

Not a tough card by any means, but it's a nicely centered upgrade for my set and it just happens to remain (almost entirely due to nostalgia) my most favorite card of all time…

Great centering on that 72 Mays. I have been looking to pick one up that is centered. I would have snatched that one for sure if I would have seen it. Congrats that is a great addition.

The 1961 White Sox team card on the right is the extremely rare variation where no yellow appears in the logo. Love it!! But the jewel of my month BY FAR is the Mr. Barton In Action on the left. For anyone who collects the '72 Topps set, this card is literally as close to impossible to find centered as you can possibly get. It was the card under the Willie Mays IA card on the printing sheet and both are always found miscut way to the left every time you see them. I am ecstatic to now have this frickin' beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kudos on the 1972 pickups! I remember last year trying to find a 1972 Hank Aaron in action that wasn't horribly off center. I nearly had to bite the bullet and go with O-Pee-Chee...luckily I found one eventually, but it was a struggle.

I would love to undertake completing an entirely 'perfectly centered' set. man, that would be tough. There are quite a few cards on my list that I have never seen centered. Never!
