What I love about signed vintage is how each piece is unique, based on the card someone brought to him that day, the pen used, where he signed on the card. All that and also how low the pop data is for each piece, it forces a collector to make sacrifices on certain attributes, compared to shopping for an unsigned card.

Hope my fellow Mantle collectors will enjoy...

The last photo is the best centered White Letter I've come across, so wanted to share that, too. All of us Mantle guys know how tough that one is.

Been re-reading The Last Boy over the holiday; great and moving read.

Outstanding! You definitely have a great eye!

Those Mics are amazing, if you twist my arm the 53 and 54 Bowman just pop for my eyes! Great collection!
