Grand Theft Ernie!!
Ran into this 1968 Topps #355 Banks I need when it was first listed and the price told me to immediately grab it without wasting time seeking out comps...and it was the right move. Crazy beauty and centering aside ("Yesterday's 10 is today's 7"), the $60 price was a case of extreme (new word) theftery... pickups1968banks355.jpg

A Long awaited beauty!!
It's been so long since I've even seen a 59 cream back Mantle, I had forgotten I was still looking for one!! There are only a total of 53 graded 1959 Venezuelan Mantle examples between PSA and SGC combined - and that includes BOTH gray and Cream backs. While neither grading company differentiates, those who collect are well aware of the monstrous difference in supply of the cream backs. I think it's been 10+ years since I've seen one available. While this one has multiple creases and is fairly graded a 1, The centering and eye appeal are off the charts! So excited to add this bad boy to my small but quality Venezuelan PC.

I bought one of those inadvertently off eBay probably more than 20 years ago, thinking it was just a regular '59 Mantle in lower grade. Paid $50 something. It arrived and I noticed "Impreso en Venezuela" and I sold it a month or so later for $500 something. I don't recall whether it was a white or gray back.
