The 52's were graded extraordinarily harsh. Someone can resurrect the thread of the scans of 'em, I got these at the National and examined them pretty closely. The Pillette seems like a bad Stephen Colbert joke.
The Mantles are about what I expected, though the 68 is so razor I thought an 8.5 was in the offing. Mr. Frank Robinson got his second trip to Newport Beach and now resides in a 7 holder instead of a stupid arse 6 holder. They still have one grade to go on that one.
And as for the West..........(sigh)..........the card is awesome but it does have a small surface scratch/indent on the front (perhaps you can see it on the scan if someone resurrects that thread too).........if that's what it takes to knock a NM-MT quality card down to a PSA 6, then I may just have to off myself. So stupid.

I have yet to hear a bad Colbert joke.
