If that 56T Mantle doesn’t have back problems or creases not visible in the photo, the grading companies have reached a new level of absurdity.

Thank you! No there are a couple slight surface creases on the card.

Not super high grade but I've looked a while for a decent example.

I finally have 2 to post. I'm working on a 1961 Topps set, early in the game. Anyway I have 1 SGC card, a Hector Lopez and a Bauer (PSA) after he was traded to KC. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the Lopez for my personal player collection, or use it for my PC and buy a PSA Lopez for my set.

Today I received 3 cards I ordered for the set (all raw). I also have 11 raw cards that I sort of started out with. I'm goint to scan the fronts of all the raw and post them in the next few days, and also start a thread on how I'm doing on the set.

I love that Laughlin Peter. I keep watching that complete set on ebay and coming close to pulling the trigger.

Since I am a crazy person I bought another Banks RC off ebay that really caught my eye. Now I have to decide which one to keep:

I also finally found my 53 Bowman Reese. Such a pretty card:

The Reese is a very pretty card. Isn't it amazing how good a card graded 5 can look. I have a 1958 Ted All-Star that's a 6 and it looks better than that, I think it's the bottom corners. Anyway, the Reese card is making me want to do the 1953 Bowmans.

My latest purchase.

Someone else already posted a Mays card, but I think my latest addition looks good too.

Matthew, that Banks RC is the best one yet. You should keep it.

Unreal 56 Mays.

I've been working on my Kaline run a lot lately.







And I landed a beautiful Kaline RC! Clear image and dead-centered. My only qualm is the red isn't as red as I'd like it to be, so I'll be on the lookout for another.

Awesome examples Ian. That 54 is super sharp for the grade!
