Dammit Bestdj777, I am glad i turned you onto to it last week @Baggers, I know how much you tried to get it last time, I am glad you still got it in the long run, when it came back up in auction, still cheaper than i thought than previous owner paid. I am so excited for ya to check that one off the list.

After a droughtfull many months..I worked in a trade for this BAD BOY!!!!!
Thanks to a dealer from the National...Brad Lang (ebay seller floyd6294)
and special thanks to Leon, MattyC and Bestdj777 for advice/opinions.
A bit O/C, but i liked no wet transfer on this one.

Thanks Chris. I appreciate you letting me know about it! And, gorgeous card. Glad you nabbed it.

That Robby Leaf is quite nice, centering be damned!

Nice Jackie, Chris Good pickups. You're obviously happy, and that's the most important thing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm back to scouring the web for more 75s.

Way 'ta go, Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on finally getting the 55 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle. Just having one is definitely an accomplishment very few Mantle collectors reach. For having a major crease, at least it misses Mick's eyes and most of his cap. That spares some of the essential eye appeal. --Brian Powell

Thanks Brian! Now I just need the 54.... I am so glad the wrinkle didn't go through his face. I don't mind creases as long as they don't ruin the eye appeal. I appreciate the kind words. This is one I've wanted for a while. I bid on this exact card in an auction several months ago but backed out one bid too soon.

Here's a 1977 J.D. McCarthy of Tom "Touch 'em all Joe" Cheek, hall of fame broadcaster of the Blue Jays. I guess this would be his rookie card.
