I would not buy that card but that is me....I am sorry to say so but that is the truth in my situation.
Woah, pretty strong opionions there, but I guess everyone's entitled their's... right?

MattyC, that Mantle does plenty for me. Wish I had one like it. Great card, enjoy it!

(not sure if anyone else responded to this yet, but my eyes are getting tired 11 pages in)

Ian,

Thanks. I am actually posting this from the roof of the Capitol Records building here in LA-- was just about to take a swan dive like the opening of Lethal Weapon because of how the OP dissed that PSA 3 Mantle (Was just trying to show him the range of centering on lower grade examples, in case he was not in the habit of perusing scans on VCP and wanted centering.)

Luckily I took a look at it and the colors are quite vibrant in hand; I blame my rather bootleg scanner for the lack of a crisp scan-- perhaps I should have borrowed my brother's camera? Alas he's in New York.

Everyone has their own tastes and opinions and I respect that. That said, I will take all these below plus that PSA 3 Mick for the cost of that PSA 4...

It's a nice card. Don't be concerned - he is just missing his governor.

I'm excited about REA, but suspect I will do just as well this Spring as I do every year. Which means I will have no problem paying my mortgage.

REA Spring Auction is always a fun time of year. I love that feeling of reaching my max bid on Day Two, before the catalogs are even in the mail! Hey, who knows, a bid can hold for 30 days, right? Seriously though it's always a great time, from discussing the items to the thrill of chasing a great lot, just paging through the catalog, win or lose, lots of fun.

Glad I could help Matt. Gotta love it when a No Cal picks a So Cal up.. not that you need picking up with that stash! Sweet cards! I myself own very OC examples of the '51 Bowman and '56 Topps Mantles, but the beauty is, off centering never really bothered me (and I won't let 10,000 posts saying otherwise sway me)

Curious, had you jumped, would have left your shirt unbuttoned so it would flap open in the breeze while you lay atop a squished car? Also, you may not be out of the woods yet, I'm pretty sure they laced your powder

I knew that blow smelled curiously of Clorox powder. Gotta get a new dealer.

I'd love it if Mr Joshua was running around as muscle in the memorabilia underworld... Why does a hobby like our's always have to lose those kick ass bad guys to drugs and weapons smuggling. All sports collectibles get left with are crooked white collar auctioneer types (very boring).
