Default 1950's Mantle Run Complete! - SCAN HEAVY!
I really wanted to close 2013 by completing my 1950's Mantle run. I defined the run as including all his basic issues, alongside one example of the popular multi-player cards on which he appeared (i.e., w/Berra in 57, Aaron in 58, or the 53B). My focus here was less on numerical grade and more on centering and eye appeal.

The 60 Topps Mantle is one of my favorite cards so I hope you do cave! The centering and registration on your cards are awesome, you have a great eye (and I bet a lot of patience)

If you do cave on the 60 you may as well keep going, you have all the big dollar monsters behind you.

I can definitely see doing 1960, 1962, 1965, and 1969 white letter. The others hit my eye so-so in terms of aesthetic, but as I type this I know the completionist strain of collector DNA I carry will demand I finish the run!

I never did chime in on this one. Great run, Matt. As a guy (myself) who always appreciates centering, you hit a homer!!
