    Very nice on the eyes.
    What makes it a 3, is that a crease on the top left?
  • xphunkxphunk Posts: 133
    yeah, thats about the only major problem with it is a small crease near the top left corner.

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    I was born in 1966 and I started collecting at age 5 (1971 topps)-I still have my boyhood collection-Your brother did a great job with the Mantle-

    My sister who was in 6th grade when I was in 1st, brought me home a yellow plastic tool box full of cards when I was in first grade-probably 300 cards from 68 to 71-she got them from a boy who liked her...In the box was 1 Mantle-a 1969 checklist-that was my first Mantle and I still have it today......maybe the lowest of all mantles put out by topps, but special to me!!!

    I remeber buying a 1968 Mantle at age 12 at the edmonton drive in theater (flea market on sat/sun) in Baltimore with my newspaper route money..I paid 13 dollars for it and my dad thought I was crazy....it would probably grade a 7 today maybe 8.

    Isnt it great to have family!!!! merry xmas to all out there and everybody should do something nice for there bro or sis this holiday season
