Getting back to unframed posters, I did get the '62 Post poster from the same Net54er. Unfortunately it is sitting in a box waiting to be framed which won't happen until I can find more wall space. I'd like to move the Rawlings ad and put the Post ad next to the Jell-O ad. And I have the Yoo-Hoo poster that I also need to get framed (in a shadow box frame because of the faux frame on the poster). That would look great on the other side of the Jell-O ad.

Brian, I haven't seen the new Mantle card you're talking about. I have my eBay Mantle search set up to exclude anything after 1970. I'll have to take a look at it at some point.

Mike, you’d love the collection — they released 50 base cards for him—all of his Topps and Bowman issues for 1951-1969, cards that never were for 51, 54, and 55 Topps, a Dice Game, and a couple of modern cards. I’m working on the set as we speak as the price is right.

Where is the number supposed to be on the advertisement? I don’t think I have one on mine but I can check—all I have is the portrait side of the advertisement, but I know mine is real—the colors are spot on, I can’t imagine someone would have faked it and then cut it in half, and it’s autographed.
