Hey Mike,
Post a link of the Mantles you have purchased. I would love to see what you have so far. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys! JB, the link to my Mantles are in my signature. I believe I am at 14 right now, still aways to go and some expensive ones to acquire. So if anyone has any they want to move pm me. I will also consider any upgrades with better centering.

Some pickups over the last few weeks, progress on my 48 Bowman registry, my 38 Goudey set, a 52t upgrade and a hit to my rookie HOF set. Thanks to a few members for some great cards (Roberts and Foxx)

[Hammerin'Hank]

Mike, those are some nice Mantles.

Steve, great exhibits.

Great additions for both of you.

Dang.......really great additional for everyone. Some really nice cards being posted this month.

Wanna give a S/O to Matt for selling me this sweet Rose RC. Card arrived today and looks even better in person!

Beautiful Rose RC, Mike. Congrats!

[jason.1969]

I was happy to pick this pretty clean card up at a nice price. Perhaps someday I will go for his full career as I have with Hank Aaron and J.R. Richard, but for now I have only the 1957, 1958, 1963 "Power Plus," 1964, and now this 1961.

Sold my PSA 5 and downgraded just a tad to free up some money. Very happy with this replacement and the color is actually better than on my PSA 5.

Hey Mike, nice Rose RC.

Here is my latest acquisition thanks to Taylor on BST....nothing as nice as that Rose though! 453 1974 Topps cards in pretty nice condition....

no, this one wasn't the most recent 76 ryan 10. I was pleased to see that one go well over the $5K mark w/o zero help from me. glad I was on the golf course and had a few too many beers to participate in that auction! this was the one that was prior to the one that ended this weekend.

gorgeous washington, btw! alotta folks love the 75 set, but when I think of 70's topps, I like the 72's and the 76's!!

[jb67]

I was very happy to find this Gibson rookie with pretty good centering.

[39special]

It has been a while since I picked up any cards.I am happy with these.

[CW]

Nice '54 Bowman Ted Williams, Robert! That card is so tough to find centered like that. Congrats!

And, gorgeous Mantle, Mike!

[mickeymantle24]

Thanks guys I really appreciate it! This 59 really caught my eye with the red background and black SGC frame. Just makes the card pop. Still aways to go on my Mantle run, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Jason I agree, I remember my grandpa telling me stories about how when he was a kid. Putting the cards in bike spokes, flinging them at walls, and other games. Then the dreaded story of when he went to college and his mom throwing all of them away. Makes you wonder how these higher grade examples were treated from being pulled out the pack, to how they are now preserved in their respective holders.

Nice pick up on those 74s I had been watching that listing closely but didn't pull the trigger quick enough!
