Mantle mail today. Happy to pickup a full transogram box

Nice pickups! The Transogram boxes are getting much more difficult to find with PSA now grading the disassembled ones.

Mantle cards. It's a full-blown addiction.

That 65 T auto card is incredible!

Nice autos Matty.
Picked up a tough oddball today. 64 Rawlings Glove Box HC.

Thanks, fellas. Never seen that Rawlings before; learn something new every day— especially about collecting The Mick.

Those Venezuelans are tough; I can feel them calling me one day, down the line.

I did not think I could get close to the high of finding the 51B and the 57T centered. Yet I was pretty pumped about this signed 1957; my expectations were managed in terms of a signed '57— between the card's usual focus and centering issues, and then Mick's tendency to sign the card vertically, across his body from head to toe. Was surprised to see a nice sig, horizontally placed, on a card with a crisp image.

Nice cards Matt. Especially the signed 59 and 65. I'm sorry I didn't see them first.
