Here is my Mint 55 Bowman. I would call it Gem Mint except for the barely noticeable speck of paper loss on the back.

I have always seen the Phillies Cigar Mantle referred to as a 1961 issue. Is that wrong? You say 1963.

I looked at both of my boxes--the advertisement for the gloves/photos is on the back of each of these--but unfortunately no dates are present anywhere on them.

It's a much sharper card in real life, but this is a lousy scanner. scan0013.jpg

My scanner makes my cards, especially the borders, look gray?

They are much whiter in hand but I can't figure out how to get them to look better?

Not a card but a pic of my Uncle Sam with Mickey Mantle at a 1958 World Series game. (For those that haven't seen it?)

Thanks. '65 were my first cards (as an 8 year old), and I still think that they're the best looking set of the sixties.

Looks pretty sharp to me. Nice card. Same with that 52 Leon. Crease or not it looks great.

My understanding is that this was a 1963-64 issue.

Leon as a peasant/forum owner is just a coverup...Scrooge Mcduck-like amounts of cash! Very nice pickup

[Leon]

I took out a loan
Thanks for the kind words though. As the 'ole sales-saying goes, it's nice for the grade. FYI, would love to have an even nicer one but they are getting way out there nowadays.

That's a great pickup. Amazing centering!

The Standard Catalog lists it as 1961 for what it may be worth.
