As to the 56, it looks simply gem mt to me, and the 61 looked wet it is so glossy, and the black was jet black with zero snow, which is what I crave in that card. 62 was just dead centered and couldn't resist

Great looking Mantles Matt!How is that '69 a 3 ?

Nice looking Mantles. That 62 looks much better than any 7 I've ever seen. Usually they still have chipping around the borders and the corners. It certainly wouldn't look out of place in an 8 holder.

Those are some GREAT Mantles, Matt! Looks like the convention is going well so far.

I did manage to pick up your Aaron RC from the group, Matt. Was also outbid on the Mays RC. I'll post a scan of the Aaron once it's in hand.

Thx very much. Just another case of the old arbitrary grading rules being applied "correctly," LOL. Not how I would grade a card, but fine by any collector who loves to buy a card that satisfies for way less than they'd expect to pay for said satisfaction
