Picked up at the Cranston show today....a little raw vintage.

Decided to upgrade my Mantle.
Go big or go home I say.

I just wish it was the real thing and not just a fridge magnet.

Dale, very funny. I figured you won the lottery but apparently not unfortunately.

I was able to upgrade my Paige "rookie" via a fun trade.

This just arrived this evening. When I seen this card just recently, (within the past couple months) I just had to have a copy. Not wanting to spend a lot of money as I am still searching for the remaining high numbers for my 52 Topps collection, I chose this one.
Other than the smashed/soft corners, it is actually a pretty decent copy, imo.

Nice card! This is the best of his cards, IMO. Mine is decent, but with a nice thumb tack indentation and hole, so I got it at a realistic price.

That sure is a nice card, and a rookie. The Bowman and Leaf cards were issued in 1949. I don’t care what year is on the Leaf card’s back!

Very nice. I got a similar one back right before Christmas - right down to the slight tilt on the bottom border. That is one card (also other '55 and '56s) that always seems to still look good, even in lower grade. Congrats!
