Oldjudge
I can see that I mean that is probably one of the finest Mantle's I have ever seen. Can't believe it is a 6. To be honest it looks almost just as good as the 8.5 up for sale in the REA auction. Just a little more off centered. Last edited by Zone91; 05-05-2013 at 06:59 PM. |

Pre-War: Congrats to those of you who picked the correct card - the T206 WaJo portrait, of course (although I actually prefer the T204 WaJo).
Post-War: Several of you are close with your Mantle choices, but no cigars! The correct Mantle choice is his 1959 Bazooka card, which blows all the other Mantles away! Val |

I have to agree with Adrian. My eye is not yet as developed as the longtime collectors of this forum, but if that's a six, it's one of the most beautiful sixes I've ever seen.

Pre war: 1940 Playball Jimmie Foxx (don't ask me why - it is just a clear photo of one of the great sluggers of all time)
Post war: 1952 Topps Gus Zernial (love the baseball bat covered in baseballs)

That '53 Bowman Color Stan Musial is one of my all-time favorite vintage cards, and will be one of the first ones I own. That's a beauty, can't believe it's not been graded (or was it graded and subsequently freed from it's plastic cell?)
