Nice MattyC, i been looking at these for months now, eye candy shopping for Variation A.
That defeintily deserves a bump. all i can see wrong is some ding corners.
Are you displaying it or is it being locked up in a bank?

It is spending the day with me then off to the bank box with the rest of my cards. Really happy the image makes others as happy as it makes me. I can stare at it all day. Takes fellow collectors to understand.

Is the bank president going to mind you hanging out in the vault a bit more often? You know that you will not be able to stay away from that card.

Better eye appeal than most 6's and 7's. I know it's rude but what was the ticket? I'm guessing close to 18K give or take. Wanna sell? I'm your man. Congrats. Save that mother! Back clean?

CW-- THAT IS HILARIOUS.

All the mores because it is PRECARIOUSLY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH OF MY DAY! I literally took it with me to lunch, to my workout, and of course driving all in between it was on the passenger seat. You nailed it, brother!

Thanks, brother. Back is immaculate. Went for double that estimate but I was ready to pay even higher. Centering, color, and immaculate surface make a standout 52 Mantle, in my opinion, but to find all three of those rare aspects in one card-- a card that was not in a prohibitive 7, 8, 9, or 10 holder-- it was the find of a lifetime. Bill Goodwin said, well after it sold, that he's held all three of the 10s in his lifetime, and in terms of centering, color, and surface this bad boy can hang. That really meant a lot, coming from the heart of such a veteran. Clearly the corners are the main issue, but I'm grateful for them. Here's the back...

I gotta side with my little bro on this one. Granted, his perspective is skewed since he has hooked up with quite a few famous actresses.

But in a few years, Kate Upton will not be looking like she is now, whereas the Mantle will always be beautiful!

And-- no question-- there are far more hot women on Kate's level than there are dead centered #311s walking around!

Thanks. Yeah man that scan is au naturale. No roids LOL. I stare at either the scan or the catalog page of it probably an hour a day all added up. It's like a Pavlovian thing; I see that 4.5 and I just get all chill and happy.

Haha, I can just see Matt hanging out with the 4.5 all day, doing various activities across town, such as:


A leisurely drive on a winding road, top down on the covertible, Mantle hanging out on the passenger seat...





Then a quick stop at the local amusement park for a ride on their new rollercoaster (HANG ON TIGHT! )...





Of course, you gotta catch a ball game with The Mick!






And finally, to top it all off, a delicious meal accompanied with a fine Cabernet. Mantle approves.
