Country Cookin postcard pickup. Does anyone else have one that isn’t postmarked?

I only have one of the two (the kneeling version), and it is not postmarked—I’d prefer a postmarked version to be honest, but it’s pretty clean (PSA 4).

Did you just get both?

Here's a bit of a before and after Mantle scenario for your perusal.

I bought the 1968 card on the left, because the stain was simply gum or wax residue (in front of his nose and mouth) that I knew could be easily removed with pantyhose if the occasion ever presented itself, so it was worth the price. Fast forward to Bobby's group sub, and I cracked it out and wiped away the schmutz...and it (card on the right) came back a straight PSA 7...

Chris, I have had the batting one for a while. Just got the kneeling. I bid for a raw one that was postmarked three or four years ago on eBay but I ended up an under bidder. I believe Dave Thorn won it and graded it for his auction.
The price was nuts that he got for it, so luckily I was able to get one at a good price.

Nice bump Jollyelm.

Ben, Are you sure those are authentic? They're both missing the pin holes.

Like Chris, I only have the kneeling one. Mine is post marked (Aug. 15, 1969). Mine also has a pin hole.

I feel like most of my oddball Mick's have pinholes, tape, tears, and missing or dinged corners Lucked out with these Country Cookin postcards I guess.

I joined Net54 about two and a half years ago after I began building my mid-grade 1952 Bowman set. I found this thread at that time and was looking forward to the day when I had something to contribute to it.

Last week I finally pulled the trigger and picked up that Mantle.

Not only does this fill a gigantic hole in my set, but this is my FIRST Mantle card in my collection. Happy to finally have it.

I had to look at that picture several times to figure out what was going on. I thought you had a jumbo 52 Topps for a second. Nice run. You should consider a 1954 SI Topps to fill in the gaps a little!

Nice pickup. I was tempted to put a bid in. I think you got a great deal on this one.
