I really can't see the scan in your posts, but I saw the card in your photo album. It's a really nice looking PSA 1. Congratulations!

Thats strange, but yes it is the one in my photo album. It has great centering just like the Mathews but it has a small pinhole which doesn't bug me too much.

The pinhole isn't very noticeable. I thought it was just a brown spot at first. Is that what the mark (MK) qualifier is for or is there something on the back?

There's a small stamp of the original owner and his address on the back. I doesn't detract from the card but rather give it some character. It was also the same owner of the 52 Mantle that I just bought but fortunatley wasn't stamped. Where's your 53 Mantle?

Hopefully it's in the mail! It should be here soon so when I get it, I'll scan it and put it up.

Just got these back from SGC. Pretty pumped. Pujols is the only modern player I collect. I know that they are not really vintage but at least the ozzie is close












The Harper will be hitting the bay at some point for some paypal for more vintage

Very nice! I think that is one of Mantle's best card, the picture is timeless.

I'm not really a fan of the '53 Topps set. The art is good, but I just prefer actual pictures I guess. I got a decent deal on it so if I get bored with it I should be able to at least break even for a change.

just this one for my set
