New Customs from Doran ... AMAZING!!!!!

I just received these customs in the mail from Doran. I think they came out GREAT!

As many of you already know, I found a paperback ("THE MICK") on ebay earlier this year. On the inside cover it was signed "To Doug ... Mickey Mantle". I was looking for this inscription for years and finally found it. Here is what it turned into. It is 7.5" x 10.5".

Next up is a 3.5" x 5" card. The auto came from Cals' book.

These remaining three cards are regular size. The Nixons will probably go up on the B/S/T board. The Nixon autos were purchased from Mike Navarro.

    How do you plan to display the Mantle?

    When you do, and have a minute, could you post a pic? -- I (and I'm sure others) would love to see it displayed.

    Thanks guys. Patrick, not sure how I am going to display The Mick. I don't want to put it in an ordinary frame because the back came out real nice and I'd like to be able to see the back as well.

    Doug, all of those cards look fantastic, but that Mantle is off the charts. That has to be one of my all time favorites ever posted on here!
    Congrats!

    Great work as usual Doran!

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
