Your Best Pickup of the Year -- 2012 Edition

My best post war pick ups were these three Mantles. While they don't compare to your guy's higher grade beauties, they are wonderful to me.

Thanks,

Adam,

When you posted the pic of the Osteen in the other thread, I didn't realize you had actually picked it up too. I thought you just had a scan of it. Nice pick up man!

Best,

AndyH

That's what matters most, Andy. And I can definitely see the charm and beauty in a well-loved card like the Mantles you posted. One of my absolute favorite cards is a beater Fidrych rookie card. Good luck with your future Mantle pickups!

Andy, beautiful Mantles! To me, there is nothing nicer than a well loved Mantle card. My Mantle/Boyer looks like it was shoved into a set of bike spokes, and someone cut out the center circle of my 58 and glued it to a hat. Yours look gem mint compared to those.

Thanks for the kind words about my Mantles guys! I really appreciate it. I can't get enough of them.
