I am probably the only one in the world that cares about this variation but still pleased to pick up the Canadian version of the magazine:

It is just hilarious that Richard Burton and Liz are all dressed up in their Egyptian/Roman regalia, looking imperial and what not, and there's Dick smoking a butt!!! Luckily that shot didn't make it into the film. Ha ha!!

Just picked up the two PSA 2s to add to the others I had--one I bought raw and sent in and one I bought already graded:

2 good to be true, Chris! Hey, congratulations, bro. I remember a few years back when you were hotly pursuing this card, and placed your desire of the same on the bottom of every thread you posted. I won't ask you to divulge your plans, but I know you will make good choices all around.

Hope all is well for you and your growing family.

Best regards, Brian Powell

Thanks Brian! I remember those days. This was one of my white whales and I searched for ever before drastically overpaying for the PSA 1(MC). Since then, I haven't been able to resist grabbing them when I find them for a fair price. I think there are twenty total graded. So, I'll probably grab one more so I can have 25% of the graded population. At some point, I'm sure I'll sell or trade a couple of them as I don't "need" more than one. But I plan to enjoy the in the interim. Hope all is well with your family as well! My son says, "wahh!", which I'm assuming means hi?

Lot of really great Mantles. Dave and Tony, love your 1953 Stahl-Meyers.

Chris, unfortunately, you're not alone. I've also been looking for that. Congratulations on the pick-up.

When are you going to start your collection of one from every state?

[Bestdj777]

Haha, shortly before my wife divorces me

Ever so close to finally completing my NM 51-69 basic issue run (nope on the NM 52T)

Nice card Dave. I couldn't afford to go NM on the early ones either. A centered NM 52 would be awesome though.
