Great pickups everyone. Mike, so sorry to see what happened to that phenomenal piece. My personal opinion is that condition is basically irrelevant for items like that, but still should have been handled appropriately. I do bubble wrap and cardboard for anything of value when it goes through the mail. It’s a shame.
Ben, great cards as well. Do you have the Exhibit in hand yet and have you had an opportunity to compare it with another? Probably just the picture but color seems a little off. As for the hole punched card, I love it. I’ve got to do that to mine so I can flip through them easier.

Ben:
Congrats on the Mantle PC back. As you know I am not into grading. But how is that only a 2?? Looks real good to me. But I guess I should not be surprised. When I recently got the four 61 Topps Dice Cards I picked up ( Mantle, Mays, Musial and Richardson) graded, I was expecting to be disappointed and figured I'd get a 3 or 4 on them because I thought they looked like a 5 or 6. Of course the Mantle came back 2.5. The one good thing is it was the highest graded, so in that respect it was good, but just like your Exhibit PC it sure looks much better than the assigned grade. Just my old man's grading rant! I know it is nothing new for you graded collectors.

Fred,
For any of my Mantle stuff I slab for protection or I buy cheap examples already slabbed. I’m definitely not in it for grades. I think most of my Mantle base cards are 1’s or 2’s. I do have a bunch of 80’s 10’s in my pc, but most of those I acquired or slabbed for minimal $. To each there own though ![]() In the case of this PC back, I think it probably could have gotten a 3 or 2.5 but I am fine with the assigned number. It does have a noticeable crease that guarantees a low grade. It isn’t that noticeable in a scan. I am ready to find a raw dice game Mick like you did next! Haha |

Very cool pickup Mike! Congrats.
