Here is what I won: 1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 2.5

I am pretty excited as this is the card I have been trying to get. I am going to sell my 52 Berk Ross Authentic on the BST board later today if anyone is interested.

Eloy, Nice pick up. The centering on that card gives it a nice eye appeal.

Thanks Bobby!

That is what I really liked about it. The two lines are the major negative but can't complain for a 2.5. VCP is $1,575 for a 2.5 so my $1,300 delivered price is a pretty solid deal. I am real excited and needed this to complete my two display cases. The major rookie cards I still have on my list are primarily just gravy now (except Bill Russell).

I prefer the '51 Mantle to the '52 -- beautiful card and with your numbers, great deal!

Congrats, nice 2.5

Eloy you did very well with that card!
Great show of focus on your journey!

I think the 51 Bowman Mantle's are slowly going up in price in all grades, VCP trends seem to show a lot of green arrows.

Yes it was! I was actually just wanting a PSA 1 but this feel into my lap.

Thanks Martin. I think the 51 will trend up as more people such as myself seek out the "rookie" for Mantle.

BTW the Jim Brown rookie is one of my favorites. Thanks for selling that one to me.
