Have been waiting for a really nice '51B in PSA 6 for a few years now, and maybe should have settled a bit prior to the price jump.

Jesse, your Mantle run is outstanding, and I'd be fortunate to approach anything like your run for appeal and centering. Your 52T is just beyond belief!

Great 58. As to the 51, as they say, sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good.

50/50front and back Yankee great!

Thanks Jason, and yea the 51 is very tough to find centered in any grade. If you see a nice 4 or 5 it might be worth picking up until you can find your 6. It won't be hard to unload once you upgrade.

Good advice from both of you, Jesse and Peter.
I think the 51B issue comes from a 'one that got away' story involving a truly perfect PSA 5 that the seller backed out of at the last minute. After a 500 mile flight to pick it up...

Here's the run to date, only since we've been talking about it. Apologies for the mission-creep on the thread

You need a white letter, Dan Dee, and Red Heart if you are to have any self respect.

That's a great looking run. I still haven't found a red heart yet, probably because I haven't been looking very hard. I did pick up a decent dan dee a while back.

Sweet Mantle Jesse! Mick's Dan Dee has always been a favorite of mine.
