CW-- THAT IS HILARIOUS.
All the mores because it is PRECARIOUSLY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH OF MY DAY! I literally took it with me to lunch, to my workout, and of course driving all in between it was on the passenger seat. You nailed it, brother!

Thanks, brother. Back is immaculate. Went for double that estimate but I was ready to pay even higher. Centering, color, and immaculate surface make a standout 52 Mantle, in my opinion, but to find all three of those rare aspects in one card-- a card that was not in a prohibitive 7, 8, 9, or 10 holder-- it was the find of a lifetime. Bill Goodwin said, well after it sold, that he's held all three of the 10s in his lifetime, and in terms of centering, color, and surface this bad boy can hang. That really meant a lot, coming from the heart of such a veteran. Clearly the corners are the main issue, but I'm grateful for them. Here's the back...
