MattyC congrats on landing the 55 Bowman Mantle. That is a great looking card and hard to beat. Was that an Ebay find?
Landed this 69 Mays to add to my Willie collection. I have been looking for a long time to find a nicely centered one that did not break the bank.

Another stellar baseball card with that Mays right there. Finding a 69 with that centering and so square is quite the feat for a collector. 69s are pretty impossible because of that issue.
I can really appreciate a super rare piece like that Peanut Butter card; pieces like that really distinguish a collection. Thanks regarding the kind words on the 55B. It was an eBay auction that I was sweating, due to the more intense than usual scramble going on these days for Mantles. It was a new high price for the grade I believe, but thankfully not by as much as I feared, LOL. As I try and build the prettiest Mick Run, card for card, that I can, I continue to be amazed by how effectively rare some Mantles are to find if one is seeking certain attributes. The pop numbers really belie the difficulty.

some awesome and really cool esoteric stuff being posted. Congrats to all!
Here are two recent pickups Got this one with a $5 discount and a $20 coupon. The coupon was sent to me by ebay. Then I bought $100 gift card for $95 from Paypal. So not bad at all. Wish the centering was better. Ill upgrade eventually. For now am really happy to have it!  And this card has unbelievable eye appeal but has a little wax on the back. Ill take it!

Just got a batch of graded coins/pins back from PSA - the 50 day grading specials seem to take forever! The only thing that I did not like was that the labels were to small for "180 back" and "200 back" for the '62 Salada coins. Not quite a complete Aaron run, but getting there. Sorry about the blurry scans. Apparently, my scanner does not like PSA's coin/pin slab. I also need to thank PSA. The coins were shipped back in two of the nice blue plastic PCGS storage boxes.

Topps 1968 Bench
Bruce-- check to see which version you have. In the first line of the back bio the word "the" is either spelled correctly or is spelled "tne". Not sure if it is corrected typo or recurring print defect, but neither version is scarce

I finally managed to add some new stuff to my collection. I traded my Pittsburgh Exhibit 5 of Clubs (1 of 1 graded) for the 8 of Clubs (1 of 2 graded) to help a buddy in completing his set. I then scored these sweet, original Phillies Cigar boxes. The backs contain an image of Mantle and an advertisement for the premium photo give away, so they will make great companion pieces.
