Topps strikeout
 

Right, Al - By '64, Mantle had a tough time catching up to a Gibson heater, was lucky enough to get a hanging knuckler from Schultz. The photog with the long lens in centerfield probably wanted a shot of a shot off Gibson, but didn't want to bother with Schultz.

Don't send in the tabs
 

Great cards from a great set, Kevin. Where'd you find them - eBay?

Num Num's
 

Steve - they came in a private transaction. I don't think I'll be cutting the tabs off:)

coupla ebay pickups... The Giles PC isn't anything special, but I'm pretty excited about the Cepeda.

Here is the pics of my sub:

The FexEd service...was horrible..The condition of the package was all torn up.
Almost where the popcorn would come out, and on 2 corners. What the heck do these carriers do???? I expect better service.
Thankful SGC securely bubblewrap their holders, but did notice a minor crack towards the upper mid side(backside) and the bottom, where heated or whatever together, looked kind of crappy to me...needless to say it looks good.

And the other 2 cards i sent it.
Keeping in mind, they changed the description on the Babe Ruth.
and got a lower than expected grade on the Namath RC.

Ok, forgive my ignorance, Al, but is the variance part of the card that I'm missing, or the white "line" on Mays' arm?

Beautiful cards, Steve! :)

Yes. the white 'band" on his arm in the action insert is a print defect, but a recurring one
