Thanks Al. Neither were formal 2nd chance offers via eBay, but more so nice email exchanges with the sellers. I actually started that 2nd chance thread a few months back, so am hyper sensitive toward those emails. Oddly enough, I haven't received an eBay 2nd chance since (real or fake). Both cards have arrived, though one is still at the post office waiting for me.

A few more, down to 26 for the set.

Sold my Mantle RC last year, finally picked up another one.

Nice pick-ups, Dan. Keen eye for centering on both........

Great Mantle RC! Gotta tell ya, centering on that particular card makes so much of its eye appeal, at least to my sense of aesthetics. I'd take that one over many others I've seen with higher grades, because centering is all over the place with that card, especially left to right. Congrats!

Finally grabbed one of these. My goal was always (1) nice L/R centering, (2) minimal tilt, and (3) as smooth back edges as can be expected, chipping wise. The backs of these can get so rugged with that black coloring. The back on this one is fantastic, will get a scan up...

[Vintageloz]

Just picked this up for my HOF rookie collection. Low grade but it will work for now....

Picked up this B&W Holiday Inn Dexter Press Postcard. I picked up the other two Dexter Press Mantles, and am working on a run of Mantle Holiday Inn Postcards, so it is nice to be able to finish out the Dexter Press trio while adding to the Holiday Inn set. Also grabbed two Mantle stadium issue postcards but having problems posting those.

Some cards for my autograph/blog project.

67--I just picked up a 2nd Shea for my set. There are two versions. In one some blue ink is missing from the sky in the upper right. You can see several of both versions on ebay

Cool, I never noticed that.
