Mantle
 

Very nice Patrick

Nice 59 mick! Dave.

Awesome Chris...another Venezuelan for ya.
And to Patrick on such a nice shiny red card.

Thanks Chris. 3 more Venezuelans to go! (if anyone has a 59, 60, or 68 they don't want?). Like the new profile picture.

Yep. thats my new purchase. But i then realized, thats what Adrian had :confused: Not to be mistaken for him

Slow progress on my '56 set...not sure why my scan is so crappy...card is sharp looking!

1956 Oddities
 

Nice 52 Mantle Chris, I'm assuming you did indeed win it?

Pat, great 59 Mick, that is beauty.

It tough getting behind on this thread, it makes commenting on everyones stuff difficult, but there are some excellent additions.

1948 Leaf Musial
 

I originally posted this in the pre-WWII July pick-ups thread like an idiot. I now have a nice raw 1948 Leaf Musial available for sale if anyone is interested.

Great looking card of The Man, Dan

One of the coolest cards in the hobby, Dan. That's a gorgeous "5", too, with great centering and registration (tough on that issue). Leafs can look a little weird sometimes, but when everything comes together and the stars align, look out.

Thanks guys...I'm very pleased with the card. I've had a few come and go over the years, but this one is definitely a keeper.

Hank RC
 

The most I have ever paid for one single card, but I'm very happy with this one. Getting real close to wrapping up this 54 set. Just need 8 more. And only commons at that!

Congrats on the pick up! That card has always been on my wish list...

thats nice..and in raw form....you got some balls to do that. Its also on my RC to-do-list.

Picked it up from a very trusted board member that I've done a bunch of deals with in the past. He offered a full refund if I wasn't happy. I was pretty confident with all the info provided and even more so now that I've seen it. I only collect raw, so if it were in a holder I'd still have to bust it out!

Cards....
 

....in their natural and intended state, free from the bondage of plastic, are not "raw"

Strange
 

Why don't we call cards in holders, "cooked?"

Unfortunately, I would call them "unavoidable.".

Only ten more to go to finish up my set:

Nice Chris.....let me know what remains on your list

Thanks Chris! Down to 9 now. So excited to pick this up, particularly at the price I grabbed it at.
