December pick up thread

Nice pick ups on all of the 52s and for those who have wrapped up their low number runs....Dale, you'll have to post some images of your 3 key low run cards once you receive them.

I felt like I just could not wait any longer on this card as it has nearly doubled in cost (value for those who already own one) over the past 6 months and just not sure where the ceiling is on this card. Not a crease or wrinkle to be found, sharper than some of my 6s. This pick up leaves me at 404 of 407, 3 more to go.

Wow, that's a beautiful looking 4.5. Congrats on a great pick up!

I will be sure to post my remaining 52's when they arrive but trust me when I say they are not the greatest examples.
With the recent price increases and the CDN/U.S. exchange rate, affording higher grade examples was out of the question, unfortunately.

Will probably be the last pickup I have this year (unless I make a special trip to Bankston's while I'm off the week between Christmas and New Years). Anyway got this at SMP this weekend when we traveled to DFW to do some Christmas shopping.

I was looking at a box of 2020 Topps Chrome, but I ultimately decided on this for about $20 less than the box of Chrome. I know, probably (and most likely) the wrong decision. But I'm happy with it. It's my first Mantle. I was simply going to open the Chrome because I had some money to blow and hadn't opened any wax in a long, long time.
