Agreed! I almost feel sorry for anyone whose eyes are good enough to distinguish this 7 from a 10.

The top right corner has a very light crease. I've seen uglier 7's. Buy the card, not the holder.

Two gorgeous Mantles right there. There are indeed 7s that hit the eye way worse than those two selected. The color on that 56 example just POPS.

Never saw that Snider card before-- that is a great looking card.

Also never saw the 73 Concepcion before-- the photography in that 73 set is really something else. Look at the shine on that helmet, and how the shadow falls over his eyes at that angle. Cool.

Picked up these two recently for my 56 HoF set. Im now down to 7 and am itching to get them finished! I have the big guns now with Teddie Ballgame in the lineup!

That Kaline looks sharp. I may not be far behind you. I love the 56's and may do the HOFers.

Oh yeah, very nice '56s. Great little collection to do. I have the Koufax and Mays so far, but will definitely be picking up more over time as I have the Snider and Clemente on my short list. Thanks for showing those.
