Too bad you had to pay extra for the Mantle when all you wanted was the Alou

One of the disadvantages of being a Felipe Alou master set collector....

I just did a little research and Felipe had such an impressive family. At some point, I might do an Alou family rookie card collection.

Default '55 Bowman

Being probably my least favorite main stream Mantle, I wasn't willing to splurge on a nice graded example.. going instead for this "collector grade" example. I normally don't go after anything I don't like, and I really can't stand this '55 set!!, but given I was down to two Mantles (Topps/Bowman) needed to complete a run, I just had to.

I see why you don't like that card. It is not a flattering pic of Mick.

Congrats on nearing completion! I don't blame you. I hate the 55 Bowmans as well.

Thanks guys (Chris, Alex), I'm glad I'm not alone in my opinion on '55 Bowman.

Beatlesguy- I think I could possibly, maybe, eventually, imagine maybe developing an affinity for them (maybe), but don't think I'll ever get the chance to develop that since I can't see picking up another.

Default 1955 Armour Coin

Picked up this 1955 Armour Coin Mantle (correct spelling, bats L-R). A slight issue on the top lip that I believe occurred when it was taken out of the mold(?), but I will take it.

That's a tough oddball 1972 Puerto Rican League Sticker of HOFer Goose Gossage.

Kyle - nice pick-up! You are on a roll lately!! When are you going to show off the autographed versions of each??
