Appreciate the opinion Shelly. So I guess the trademark emoticon should be for this one.

Thanks!

I agree with Shelly on Mantle . I would stay away from this, plus there are better examples of his available.
The Foxx looks ok to me. The big thing for Foxx is that he signed with many variations on the "J", and that can be an authentication nightmare. All else looks ok to me.

Foxx looks good to me but if it came from the same book as the Mantle beware I guess

To me, the Mantle looks like a vintage example and I think it is okay, lots of speed. I think the Foxx is okay as well.

Joe, I would really like to have you show me a mantle cut where the second m is much higher than the first.I gave my reason why I felt know please who me why you say yes. I said I could be wrong so proof it.
I looked at a hundred just like this one That is what through me off.I usually am able to say yes in a second not this one. Look at the two Ms and I think you and everyone else can see what I mean.
