Time to start on those dozens of oddball issues.

Thanks guys. My favorites visually, in order, are 53t, 56, 52t, 51, and 60.
My original plan was to finish this and then concentrate on post war RCs. Although with the market for those so crazy right now that may change. No plans for a master run, but I'd like to add the 54 Dan dee, red heart, the 57 Mantle/Berra and the 62 Mantle/Mays. Maybe a few all star cards and a signed Mantle or two. Begsu if you have any of those you'd let go let me know  A couple of cards I bought before centering was a priority and I plan to upgrade. They really stand out in hand when compared to the centered ones. And Leon thanks for pointing out the typo. Peter mentioned it too. I usually catch those but it was late.

Jesse, I have made more really bad typo's than the number of times you have posted. The Mick run is really great to see. Also, interesting comment of your past and present view on centering. I don't think I used to care as much as I do now, in all eras of cards.

[QUOTE=pokerplyr80;1557247]Thanks guys. My favorites visually, in order, are 53t, 56, 52t, 51, and 60.
Agree---they're all gorgeous. I'd include the '53 Bowman as well. Jesse, my sincerest congratulations, and thanks for taking the time and effort to present us with a group portrait. A very impressive assemblage of Mickey. Perhaps you could invest in a nice All State Display case with a royal blue velvet pad to allow yourself the privilege to bring them all back from the bank a few times a year to arrange again as you did, to just enjoy admiring them in person on a weekend. Sure, you wouldn't need the case, but it would make an elegant "secure" backdrop. -Brian Powell Just curious, why is the '58 Topps Mantle / Aaron of sentimental value for you? Best regards, my fellow collecting warrior. ---Brian Powell

In the mean time, my Mantle run is still perfect. I don't own all of them.  Beautiful collection, Jesse. But I need individual scans of all of them, please. It's not 4,000 Cansecos, but I think if any collection on the vintage side deserves individual scans, this is it. I'll have to live vicariously through you for a while longer.  Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful! Congrats Jessie.
Have ever considered selling the 52 Topps for a lesser grade only to upgrade some others?

Hate to be Debbie Downer, but have you thought about getting the variations of his Topps cards? The 1952 Topps can be found with the stitches on the ball on the back going in the opposite direction and has a few differences on the front, the 1956 can be found with a gray back or a white back, the 1957 supposedly can be found with the man walking in the background being airbrushed out in two varying degrees (I never could tell the difference though), and the 1969 can be found with white letters.

Thanks, most of them except for a couple early pickups do look great for the grade. Both 52s, 53t, 57, and 62 are dead centered. I will add individual scans one of these days.
Next up is probably selling a couple of other cards first, but yes I am still looking for a centered WL 69. Anywhere from a PSA 3-7 could work if it looks good.

I usually skip over Mick posts because I'm sick of seeing his cards over and over again. But seeing your whole run laid out like that was awesome. Congrats man!

Both nice cards, especially for the grade, but I'm pretty picky and would want one with no tilt. That's why I don't have one yet.
