I think you should do another one!

Thank you for the comments everyone!
I thought the green REALLY made the colors jump forward.
When I was choosing colors in the shop, I settled on that immediately.
(I also mentioned several times in this thread I had to try and steer clear of "heavy red" cards) Looking over all of the standard issue Mantles, red is a very predominant color. I needed to try and mix it up so it would have the contrast I wanted.
I mentioned a couple times looking for good "clarity"/no snow, no major creases etc..... and I think it helped the overall look, even though the centering isn't "great" on a few.

I am tinkering with the idea of a Clemente project like this, but getting one of his autos will make it expensive. (The cards would be a touch cheaper though)

We shall see.
