All were ungraded, most were uncreased, general centering issues. They are extremely hot. Now.....is that because they are so scarce, or because they are so expensive we all wait till the end to work on them. Who knows. I'm slowly chipping away at them until I win the Powerball and then I'll knock out the Mantle. It'll be $100K for a VG3 by then probably but shouldn't be an issue with Powerball winnings.

That is what I am waiting for too, only up here it is called Lotto. (6/49, Lotto-Max, etc)
I already have my Mantle, Mays and Robinson, but I still get angry knowing my Uncle had a Mathews, and a few other nice high number cards, but decided to sell them years ago even after I mentioned I'd purchase them if he ever decided to sell.
