Cooperstown Visit (No I did not visit) - The Ultimate Card Set - Part 1

Is it just me, or does that PSA 10 1952 Mickey Mantle look off centered? It's definitely not 50/50 left to right. And it has a bit of a diamond cut, as the top right border is closer to the edge than the top left border and the lower right side border is closer to the edge than the top right side border. How'd it get a 10??

It's like I said, a collection of holders not cards. No love.

Not sure I get you....because someone buys high grade cards he does not love baseball cards....I know if I was a millionaire I would buy some nice looking stuff like that to...and yes I would love owning them and be very very proud of them....why not buy the best if you can afford it!!! I would still be a collector at hearth just with better looking cards in my collection.

Adrian, everyone knows the Wags is trimmed. The Harris Mathewson is suspect, the psa10 mantle is tilted, (the "least" of the psa10 52T mantles), The Arron doesn't look perfectly centered and the e90-1 jackson is "off" right to left. Just saying, a true collector could find the same cards with as good or better eye appeal for a lot less money.....unless they are buying the grade and not the card. Dave

Ah OK...I did not know that....to me they simply look better than the cards I own....that is why I still have a lot to learn.

My cat yes he is doing a lot better thanks. He is 19 he is a Russian Blue. His last year outside was last summer now he just wants to be inside with me and go on the balcony. He would walk beside everywhere I would go people here where amazed when I tell him no he understands. He would walk on the sidewalks right beside me and every where else as well (of course I had to watch out for dogs and any other type of predator). He would NEVER run away he has always been like that....he NEVER bites either.

He was a great hunter as well I saw him do some crazy things to outsmart some bigger animals like squirrels. I would see him hide in the top of ceder hedges just waiting for a bird to land that was like 6 feet high.
