Posted By: <b>John Kalafarski</b><p>There is a nice PSA 5 Mantle '51 Bowman on eBay. The thing is that on the front, in the top left corner of the black name box, part of a white cloud is pictured in front of the box. I don't remember seeing this drifting cloud on any other example of this card. Any thoughts?

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>although I do rather like the concept that it is a very slow-moving cold front blowing in from the West, that has finally overtaken the card's border after 57 years!<br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
