CW, Thanks! Yep it was from the Probstein auctions. I was surprised to get the 56T for the price I did. The 52B I believe I paid quite fairly for so figured in the end they balanced out. More importantly its another one off my list of Mantles to obtain!

Matt I had no clue these were yours, but it makes me feel even better now knowing that I have such top notch cards coming in for my own PC. Since your selling a few of your cards I'm sure you have your eye on something else! Cant wait to see what your next addition will be.

Jesse, Thanks for the compliment! I wasn't planning on going over a grand for the card, but knew its a tough card to find centered. Glad I did now; Mantle just keeps skyrocketing so it seems.

I wouldn't worry about what you paid, it's worth it. Normally I would have bid a little more but I have spent quite a lot lately. I had seen MattyC's net54 post and was trying to pick something up but got out bid on his 51 Bowman Mays as well. Hopefully that went to another net54 member.

You were not alone on this one. I watched but not bid.

National Haul Pt 1: The Micks. The color and image quality on the 54 blows me away. The 69 White Letters is so bright and well centered, just has some micro wrinkles that aren't even visible at first glance! Plus it has great corners more commensurate with a 6 or 7. As to the 56, it looks simply gem mt to me, and the 61 looked wet it is so glossy, and the black was jet black with zero snow, which is what I crave in that card. 62 was just dead centered and couldn't resist

Great looking Mantles Matt!How is that '69 a 3 ?

Nice looking Mantles. That 62 looks much better than any 7 I've ever seen. Usually they still have chipping around the borders and the corners. It certainly wouldn't look out of place in an 8 holder.

Thx very much. Just another case of the old arbitrary grading rules being applied "correctly," LOL. Not how I would grade a card, but fine by any collector who loves to buy a card that satisfies for way less than they'd expect to pay for said satisfaction
