October pickups

[tjlives]

Been lurking here for a bit, figured my first Mantle was worth posting about. I've loved the 53 Topps set and Mantle in particular since I started collected the 99 Gallery Heritage cards in those old days when I collected modern, never pulled the trigger on the big one until this week though. It's a PSA 1, but I like it enough!

Very Nice 53 Mantle, I probably stand alone when I say this but I actually like that one better then his 52.

Great cards everyone. I picked up a few along the way as well:









Please enjoy.

You're not alone, T205. I just love those portraits on the 53s, especially the Mantle, Jackie, and Campanella.

Nice 56s, picked this up for my '57 set which will work until I can afford a higher grade centered one...

Centered, shmentered -that one is beautiful in its own right.

Thanks Steve.

Definitely gotta agree with Steve. That centering isn't a big deal, it's a very nice card. Actually, the fact that the card is somewhat close to being equally off center t-b and l-r gives it a really nice look..
