What, you say? "Nothing special here", "Lots of those on the 'Bay". Well, while this particular card may not be special to you, it is THE FINAL CARD I needed for a 1956 set. Finished, done, check.

What a beautiful set.
That was also the last card I needed for my 1956 Dodgers team set! Well done. Wow, what a beautiful set to own. What are your 2-3 favorites from it? Triple Crown Year Mantle? Clemente?

Besides the Mantle and Clemente (both classic cards), some of the others I especially like are the Johnny Podres, Robin Roberts, Carl Furillo, Joe Adcock and Rocky Bridges.

I'd never seen the Bridges. Just looked it up thanks to your post. Worth it! Sweet card!

Every once in a while you find a card that confounds.
It is 49 years since I've last owned this card.

Never thought I could ever afford a nice one again... until now.

Nice card.
I think it would look really nice without all of that psa stuff in the way.
But I just like to feel the cardboard.

What a beauty! My type of card. High eye-appeal card with a low technical grade. Congrats!

Landed this mailday today to finally replace a copy of this card I obtained in a trade from someone as a kid (this would have been the late 1980's, not the 60's...) and was foolish enough to not hold onto. I've always loved the '63 design. In looking for this card again I was surprised how difficult it was to find a truly mid-grade one. I guess the '63's were particularly condition sensitive that way; it seemed my choices were mostly VG or below or PSA 7, 8, i.e. wayyy out of my price range. Anywho. Nicer than the other '64 Willie I posted last week. "EX" cards have always been intriguing to me. Mainly because when grading and particularly TPG grading standards seem to shift over time, this grade seems to be impacted the most...this card is in an older slab but still seems to be a pretty solid mid-5 to me.

Wow! That's a beautiful Mays card.


I picked up a Topps 1977 Phil Niekro. I like the photo and color on this card.

One of the things I love about this thread. No disrespect intended--really just the opposite...so great how we can run the gamut from Mantle RC to 1977 Phil Niekro and enjoy EVERY pickup.
