EXCEPT Bucky Dent's 78 home run was hit in Boston so it couldn't have been a walk off

Man, you're right! Not sure how I got that wrong. It was a 7th inning shot over the Green Monster. I'll have to redo that one, thanks!

For the record I wasn't trying to be a dick about it. That's one of the coolest set of cards I've seen

I'm going to go with the Grace card. I do wish it was an action shot vs posed but it still looks good as is.

If you're not a reader, you may not know either of the two names on the dual signature custom. Ask anyone under the age of 30 and I'd bet they can't tell you who either writers are.

No, I sincerely appreciate it - I strive for accuracy. Went back and read the box score to get my facts straight. Thanks for pointing it out.

Grace takes it. Bracket coming later (maybe tomorrow, I have a dr. appt today).

Yeah, I submitted the Grace without really knowing the terms of the contest, it was a long time back. The Grace was a custom-made card for me. Brian Kong had a booth at the 2013 National in Chicago. He had created 70 1/1 sketch cards of popular players, and had 30 blank cardstocks that he took custom orders for. Since Grace had not had a pack issued sketch card at any time (his first and only appeared in 2016 Museum Collection), I commissioned Mr. Kong to create a custom card for me. I'm a fan of his artwork and the sketch cards he's done for Topps. I left it totally up to him what he did (creative license), only stipulation that he be pictured as a Cub. I was happy with the result!

Obviously the card you choose is up to you. But, FWIW, I think the Grace meets the the concept of a custom card perfectly. It is literally a custom card made specifically for you. Given the mix up though, we may bend the rules if we do end up with a sketch card tournament.

OK all, sorry for the delay, here is the bracket:

In this one, we have the Mantle book:

And the Grace custom sketch:

Voting is open until 18-Aug at 11PM ET

Gotta go with the Mick. That's seriously one of the best looking cards I've ever seen

The Mantle is a great card, but I love the Grace.

I'm going with Grace.
