I'll kick it off with my latest acquisition from late last night from the Topps '68 issue. He is likely the closest thing to a "gold standard" of any player in the hobby....

Thank you!
Love that '68 MINT blazer!
Great stuff here! I'm not a high grade collector, here's my favorite Mickey

The '56 is always a favorite of mine. Best looking "1" I've seen. Love those high appeal low technical grade cards.
My version of high appeal low technical. Love this card.
How can it be I love most of the multi-player Leaders cards (sorry, can't get into floating heads) and despise the multi-player rookie cards?
Treated myself to this earlier in 2019. Lower grade but a 53 I keep reminding myself.
Probably my favorite in my collection. The only PSA/DNA signed box poster with a 10 auto and the highest graded of all box cut outs.

Monte - last time I saw that many 8.5’s was back in high school at the homecoming dance 😂 Awesome run of Mantles there my friend. 8.5 is my favorite grade by far.

Nice
The 61 looks like it could be seen in a 9 case. Awesome!!!

Looks better than a 1. Can’t find a pinhole.
Images of The Mick are always great to look at. Two of my favorites:
On it's way to me back from PSA/DNA authentication.
Some of these “Low Grade” cards are absolutely gorgeous! Outstanding job guys finding these diamonds in the rough 👍
Here is another low grade "junker" for the pile
Looked so nice I finally cracked it a ways back— and it came back even lower grade LOL. It's a 2 now. Gonna shoot for a 1 next dice roll. Funniest part is I've owned a 7, 6, and a few 4s and 5s over the years, and after sitting beside that 2 in my display they have all gotten sold because they just don't look as good front vs. front in person. Says a lot about the card game.
A colorful Mick
I love the centering on this one of mine.

Early flip
How is this a 2? Paper loss, pinhole, etc?
A few randoms![:) :)](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)

What does it say about the card game? To me all it says is that centering is your primary (only?) priority. But I would rather have a structurally perfect PSA 8 that is 65/35. So to me, what it says is that there is a card for everyone!
That 2.5 is great. If you have the desire to sell, contact me mexpo75@aol.com
Definitely need to get this one reviewed and so glad it did not sell at the National. Looks better than 2-3 PSA 8.5’s I have owned.
Variations ?

Wow, beautiful display of a wide range of years and product. Great job guys!

My 1951 Bowman is posted in the buy sell trade forum. My 1952 Bowman is out being graded. I'm expecting a 1. Will post photo when I get it back.
Fairly recent pickup and need to get it reviewed. IMO it looks as nice as my 8.5 I picked up this summer.
Beautiful card. What was the alteration?
