I'm a new collector, really just started this past summer, but here are my 3 mantles so far. I hope to build a nice set of all of his vintage cards some day.

Phenomenal example of the 52T right there; huge eye appeal for the technical grade. Congrats.

^^Totally agree. Nice card. I think i'll spend some time alone this weekend with my Micks. Been contemplating on adding a few more.
What ya think? A 53 or 56. Have a hard time with the 56 tho, if the white back matters more than the grey back.

Don't worry about it and just get both.

Recent Heritage pickup. Good God does that sales tax sting, though, LOL! Sometimes their scans are brighter than the card in hand, yet this card shocked me when it arrived; such white borders and the centering and corners are fantastic. Best 59 I've held or owned and definitey should've gotten the .5 love when it was graded.

Hi Gang:

Not a Mick collector per se.

Saw this tray at the Philly show. Was told it is exceedingly rare. Especially autographed. Is that so?

Cool item none the less.

That is a nice start. The 52 and 53 would complete my run nicely.
