Thanks for the notes and comments guys. Matt - the '60 Mantle was the one I asked you about when I had the pair of PSA 8's about a month ago, and I could not decide which one to keep and which one to sell. The one I sold had better centering, but for the reasons you stated the one I kept has better color, registration, and focus - the other one was not as shape particularly in the face area.
Monte - I have not tried to bump the 1960, but I am taking some cards to Chicago next weekend for the Sun Times show and plan on submitting a few for review including the 60. Do you guys think it has a shot to bump based on what you see or should I save the $$. Also, I agree on the 6.5 Mantle not being as nice as the PSA 8 - the 8 was a PWCC HE card and of the half dozen or so 8's I have owned over the years this was by far the best one. Pretty similar to the 8.5 I used to own. Not sure if it would have a chance to bump so any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks again for the comments. Now I need to find me a 1957 and 1958 finish out my 50's run. I am keeping the 59 in PSA 7 since I don't think I can find an 8 that would warrant bumping my 7 out of the lineup.
