Thanks for the comments guys. I can't stop staring at it. Easily one of my favorite cards I've owned.

That is the most beautiful 3.5 I have ever seen! Congrats on the pickup!

Also digging that 59 Kaline Baseball Thrills. I am not a huge fan of subsets, but I always loved this one. In the early 80s, the Musial one was in a local shop and I was in love with it. Paid $7.50 after saving up allowances for awhile. I probably got ripped off given it has a pinhole in it, but man I love that card.

Edit: I just looked and you can get the Musial's pretty cheap on Ebay for a beater. Don't care; wouldnt change the childhood experience of owning that beautiful card for the world! "Oh, you have a 1989 Upper Deck Jerome Walton!?! That's cool. Have I showed you my '59 Musial?"

I may need to go and buy the Kaline now.....

Thanks Cooptown!

It's been a good week. Just got this in today. Have always loved the 56 Topps Mantle with the duel head and action shot.

Nothing fancy, just filling in some more gaps in my 1969 set, but that 1971 card is the last card I need to finish the 1971 set. 1971-1980 are complete, but 71 is the roughest set I have and will be the first to get upgraded once I finish 1969 and 1970 off.

Love these kind of pickups! Slipping that last card into the binder feels oh so good...

This is my kind of card - presents much better than EX. Accurately graded, as there is the tiniest of indentations on the top right corner

Love the centering

Great looking 56!
