Great cards fellas, I'm really enjoying this thread! jb67's 4.5 Aaron in particular is just fantastic! (so are many others, but that one just jumps out at me). I'm finding that mid-grade looks better and better as I age and my eyesight diminishes...it's getting harder to see with the naked eye those minute flaws that used to drive me nuts!

I collect mostly ungraded but here are a few encased mid-grade favorites that I've picked up along the way.

Great cards, I especially like that Pafko!

Beauty! I have the '56 Clemente in a gray back 4.5. I really love the half grades. In many cases they aren't terribly more expensive than VCP for the full grade, and they are usually fantastic looking cards.

Dead centered and slightly soft corners is a nice presentation.

My 53 Bowman set ranges from a few cards in vg to near mint, with the majority in either vg/ex to excellent condition. I'm trying to upgrade my vg/ex cards to excellent but as the gap price-wise seems to be widening, my major stars will have to remain untouched unless I can either sell other parts of my collection and try to wrangle some trades.
