Two-card mid-week mail day: The Mantle is in lower technical grade with a few light wrinkles, but is centered nicely and presents great with a sharp image and virtually no print defects. My favorite Mick from the ‘60s - I had a version of this card as a kid that was almost totally destroyed; it was waterlogged in a top loader and would have disintegrated if you had attempted to take it out.

The Brett isn’t perfect, but is about dead nuts centered and is an upgrade over my raw one.

Happy Wednesday!

I think that Brett is great. A George Brett rookie card was one of the first cards I bought when I got out of college and had my first "real job" because I always wanted one as a kid. But it was out of my league as a kid in the 80's (pretty much any card over $10 was out of my league then).

The one I bought is definitely in worse condition than yours...maybe I'll upgrade some day. But I still love it.

Thanks. I have similar memories - started collecting in the late 80's, and knew about the Brett card - but it was nothing I was going to ever be able to afford then. I never owned one at all actually until earlier this year - I'm 42, LOL.

I, too, used my ebay bucks to help grab up some cardboard, these two PSA 9 green tints...

This pair of cards was obviously graded before PSA started putting "Green Tint" on the slabs, but there is only one 'official' GT PSA 9 Craig in the pop report. And in looking at the history of sales, I only found one 'regular' PSA 9 that was actually a greenie...and it was sold back in 2008. A ridiculously tough card to find.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Nice cards. The one green tint I know I have at home is a real greenie...because it's Dallas Green. (green smiley)
