Nice Matt.

Thx, Pete. Gorgeous Red Heart. The smiling image and that colorful background make that one classic baseball card.

And that example looks way more like an 8-9 from here!

I looked quite a while for one with good centering, no slight registration shift resulting in a white line along the neck and blurring in the lettering on the cap, and no print lines. As for the grade, I have no clue, but I'm fine with it as it was much cheaper than an 8 would have been.

That was what struck me I realize, that registration is really rare for that card. That example pops as a result. Tough card to shop for btw the usual centering and registration shift problems.

nice red heart.

I've been more of a seller than a buyer of Mick lately (needed to diversify)... but picked this up from a friend who bought this from the guy who got it out of a pack as a kid... one of my favorite Mickey images, so confident!

Beautiful cards guys! Brian...welcome back to the Mantle fray

Wow! I really don't know where to begin.

Matt that is a stellar 62. Those borders are so tough. The 56 is a show-stopper man. It looks screaming white. You see so many of those where the boarders are faded or yellowish. You forget what a pack-fresh one would have looked like. You have it sir.

Pete, that Red Heart is probably my favorite Mick. That card just looks like the 50s. Great pick up.

I just mailed off another 8 Mantle coins (two others were Harry Lord's own P2 Sweet Caporal pins) and 13 more Mantle cards to PSA. Those join the 17 cards in Bobby's bulk submission about to pop, and 21 cards I sent in July.

Sidenote: I printed up the coin submission form using the online system on Aug 23, and finalized the card submission at lunch. Since then, 1650 new PSA submissions were generated through their online submission form auto-incrementing. So people are cramming a bunch of order in this week to get their $7/card bulk submissions in before they go up tomorrow. Should still get them back in time for Christmas.

Great 62 Mantle Matty. Super Sharp Card Should be a 8.5.

Also the the last post of the 54 Bowman Mantle Sharp !
