That's a beauty Mike. ^^^^^
These aren't necessarily new pickups (some are), but I gathered some cards the last year or so and finally sent them in to SGC.
A number of these I picked up raw, here on the board.
Excuse the lighting glare seen in a couple of these pics.
The W.S. Batting Foes is very clean/no snow, unusual for that card.
I picked up the '55 Bowman Mantle, in early 2020. It does have some wrinkles and gum stain on the back, plus the usual "chipping" thats everywhere on the '55s. I believe I paid around $150 for it, figuring it would be hit with the "authentic" designation, but I was surprised when it came back a 1.5.
The '68 is obviously trimmed. It is such a brutal trim job, I can only imagine some kid took scissors to it. It adds to the charm, and I think I picked it up for like $50, so the price was right.
