I'm sorry to hear that. At least you can sit at home staring at that card.

@Adam, True! Picked this up too. Labeled incorrectly. Should be 1916.
Thanks Jay Cee! I feel fine. Just some sniffles…

Sorry to hear that. I got home from the National on Saturday and have been sick since Monday. At least I've had three negative Covid tests.

I've always wanted a 52 Topps Mantle and I felt this example displayed better than the grade. There is some light tape residue along the top border and it has a diamond cut, but no creases and pretty nice corners. I had an extra '33 Sport Kings Ruth and used that as trade bait.

That looks lovely to me - I love cards with tape because I don't mind it all and it cuts down the price a lot - congrats.

Nice 1/1 Hofer Leon

Awesome pickup Matt, and great meeting you at the Natty! That's a killer Mantle and looks infinitely nicer than a typical 1.5

Hey Mark, great to meet and chat with you, as well. Keep up the good work on TSOG!

Congrats, Matt.
Huge pick up that I'm sure you're over the moon with.

Matt, that Mantle, I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality:

Goodness gracious, that '52 Mantle is a beauty!

[ValKehl]

I collect only N172 Old Judge cards that show players as playing for Washington, and I'm striving to obtain one card of every such player (I also include 2-player cards). Having picked up the card below at the National, these are the five I still need together with the pose #s known for Washington:

Individual player cards:
#114-2 Tom Daly.
#244-4 Arthur "Cutrate" Irwin.
#329-4 John Morrill.
#506-1, 2, & 4 Sam "Medoc" Wise.

2-player card:
#350-6 O'Brien & Irwin.
