Newest addition. Got a decent deal, couldn't pass up the centering and color even with the issues.

That does have great centering and color. But what is with the hole punch? Why would someone do that? To store it in a binder before penny sleeves were available? To be able to walk around with a ring of cards?

Kids did it to put on the wall. I know it's more common to see tack holes with discoloration, but some preferred a hole punch.

Great pickups everyone. Mike, so sorry to see what happened to that phenomenal piece. My personal opinion is that condition is basically irrelevant for items like that, but still should have been handled appropriately. I do bubble wrap and cardboard for anything of value when it goes through the mail. It’s a shame.

Ben, great cards as well. Do you have the Exhibit in hand yet and have you had an opportunity to compare it with another? Probably just the picture but color seems a little off.

As for the hole punched card, I love it. I’ve got to do that to mine so I can flip through them easier.

Hey Chris, I actually just had it slabbed and it is still at PSA. Here is a better image scan from them. I will try to remember to take a pic of it next to my other 55 Exhibit PC back - Mutoscope.
Like you mentioned to Mike, I don't really care what the condition is, I am just happy to have snagged one

Default Mantle Exhibit PC back
Ben:

Congrats on the Mantle PC back. As you know I am not into grading. But how is that only a 2?? Looks real good to me.

But I guess I should not be surprised. When I recently got the four 61 Topps Dice Cards I picked up ( Mantle, Mays, Musial and Richardson) graded, I was expecting to be disappointed and figured I'd get a 3 or 4 on them because I thought they looked like a 5 or 6.

Of course the Mantle came back 2.5. The one good thing is it was the highest graded, so in that respect it was good, but just like your Exhibit PC it sure looks much better than the assigned grade.

Just my old man's grading rant! I know it is nothing new for you graded collectors.

Nice piece Ben! Figured the other was just a bad scan but no doubt about it after seeing the photo! As an aside, the only high grade cards I have are the rare cards where I couldn’t wait and hope a 1 popped up
