Which one sold yesterday? Didn't see it. I want to hoard that card. It is one you definitely have to jump on immediately.

Ah, just saw it was an SGC 10 on completed listings. Considering the toughness of just finding the card, in many ways any Leaf Paige is a great Leaf Paige. Yes, I grabbed the 707 one. Never saw centering and focus on the same Paige in anything that wouldn't crush my bank account lol.

It took a month and half of negotiating but I got this awesome print offset Carlton Fisk rookie. I am not a Fisk fan just like the print errors. Aslo got the regular and black spot 71 Jim Nash.

Here is another odd ball Nash

Sweet Mick 61. I came THIS close to bidding on that one as the centering was so nice. Alas I had to put everything I had into winning another card. Great pickup.

Fantastic Mantle, Dave! Cool cards posted by all! (Nice Carlton RC, Todd, and that's a killer Killebrew, CD!)

Nice grab on the Koufax, Matt -- such a classic card! One of my favorite cards from the 50s, regardless of player. I took a stab at the PSA 7 you mentioned, but I think I was 3rd or 4th underbidder, as my snipe fell a few hundo short. Typical strong PWCC price on that one.

Here's a new arrival. The original PWCC scan for this card was a bit jacked up, but the card did not disappoint once I had it in hand. Really impressed with the color, print, and registration on this one. Here's a more accurate scan, followed up with a comparison to my off-registered color variation of the same card.

I absolutely love oddball Mantle cards and this is by far the oddest thing I have ever seen. It was described to me as a 1958 issue by National Sports Council. It is 11X14 and is printed on card stock. The bizarre part is the back. Mantle discusses at length the benefits of living in America rather than communist Russia, and it contains pictures of Stalin and other dictators.

Many thanks to Chris (pawpaw) for letting me know this even exists and for sending me a link to it. I owe you!
