    Card #2 is beautiful in my opinion! #1 has that cool inscription, but I think that #2 looks much better overall.

    * C. PASCUAL BASIC #3
    * T. PEREZ BASIC #4 100%
    * L. TIANT BASIC #1
    * DRYSDALE BASIC #4 100%
    * MAGIC MASTER #4/BASIC #3
    * PALMEIRO MASTER/BASIC #1
    * '65 DISNEYLAND #2
    * '78 ELVIS PRESLEY #6
    * '78 THREE'S COMPANY #1

    Hey man, thanks for your opinion. Yeah I know a lot of people like this set, actualy i'm sending in 2 other cards from this set as well, the Paul Arizin and the Bob Cousey(both numbered to 50). I think people go both ways with those 2 Mikan's because the All-American is numbered to 46 but the other one as his inscription Mr. Basketball and that one is numbered to 100 so its like 50/50.

    I vote for #2 as well, although it's tough to go wrong with either. Nice cards.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Hey Grffiens, whats up man? I meant to get in contact with you but didn't know how lol. I finaly got that Mikan Menko up for auction, I never did get any response from the network 54 but thank you very much for adding it to their boards. I went with Mastronet and their going to list it in the December premier auction, I already signed the contract so lets see what it does. Sorry for changing the subject for a second lol. Now back to the Mikan autos, I already have the Inscriptions to my online set registry and probably will add the Mikan All-American when I get it graded. Thanks againimage

    #2 is beautiful, I would use that one and sell #1 if you can't keep both. #1 looks too much like the tape autographs they use in football. That all american looking one is the best looking mikan card I've ever seen!

    Thanks man, yeah I love the All-American set too. My most favorite non-auto set in the world is the 14 card set of GOTG All-American, they show great color and the overall look is beautiful, I own about 6 full sets of those. I actualy didn't even know that the 1950's Football All-American set existed, I later learned that they took the design from that Football set, this was a while back anyway lol, i've seen pleanty of the 1950's Football by now. I also noticed that they made some kind of Autographs like this for Football but I think there on stickers, I like the Bubba Smith for that set but to bad its a sticker and not oncard. I'll probably sell my 2 Mikan inscriptions one of these days if I get a great offer, I also have 2 of these All-American Mikan autos so I have 2 and 2. Thanks againimage

    LOL, I forgot to ask, what do you think that All-American would grade? I already have the Inscriptions graded by bgs and want to cross it over and I also already have the Inscriptions auto in my set registry right now in a grade of a 9. The other Inscriptions by the way is a BGS 9, maybe would cross over to a 10, worth a shot I guess.

    Thanks guysimage Yeah I love #2 too but I do love the Inscriptions as well lol. I guess I like the All-American because Mikan is pictured in his Depaul jersey and of course the card is beautiful.
