MattyC, That 57 Mantle has some serious pop when you look at it. The centering along with the bright borders and color/focus is crazy good for the grade. The eye-appeal tops a lot of other higher graded examples. A keeper for sure.
Greg, That 56 Mantle is incredible looking for the grade. Not sure I have seen any better looking PSA 6. A great Mantle addition congrats.
Jason, I know it was mentioned already but that 72 Munson and Bench card is not easy to find centered and you landed both at the same time that is well-played.
This has been a great February pickup thread so far. Hope to post a pickup soon.

Agree with all'o'that.
I will also say were I to build a 50's set it would be 1956. Love that string of 1956 cards earlier.
MattyC, while your 1953 Mantle is obviously and clearly a megastar five-digit card, I must repeat the above sentiment on your "lesser" 1957 (I recall your PSA 8 of the 1957
) That PSA 5 exemplar is a "phreak."
Cincy, I drool for that Bowman Mantle Rookie. I am priced out of mid-grades now I think. Difficult to find a better "one," hahaha.
