Very sensitive borders. This one has some of the nicer borders that I've seen for sale recently, but there's a slight indentation on the upper right corner which will kill the overall grade when it goes to BGS. If it hadn't been for that I could have seen it coming back at least an 8.5...

I picked it up for about $800. There's a bunch for sale at $1000-1500 on eBay but none selling that high.

Now I just need the single signed Mantle to complete the collection.
May eventually pick one of those up.Pretty card.Sounds like a BGS 9 of that card is really tough to get?Guess I'm going to the Des Moines area now.Really didn't want to go there, but nothing else is working out.You ever go to any Quad Cities games?

Yeah, BGS/PSA 9's are next to impossible to find.

I never did get over the the QC for games before the Cardinals moved down to Peoria. QC is now the Astros affiliate. Nice park though. There's a bunch of teams in Iowa, if you can stand a 2-3 hour drive each way there's lot of baseball to be had. I gotta think Omaha has a team or two, I think the Royals have a team there?

I'm sure you can find Iowa Cubs tickets any night of the week :)

This week I have picked up ticket stubs from Descalsos HRs in Milwaukee and San Diego. 2007 Bowman Red /5 from heartyourlife that I can not wait to break out of that slab. Also just got in Descalso Mini Silver /5 that I picked up for just $15! That means I am 2 cards away from 100% non 1/1 completion. I need 2011 Bowman Red /5 and 2012 Topps Factory set Orange /190. I may NEVER see that card again

No the one I got is graded a 9 from PSA. Now I want the super. Maybe me and Sinfulone can get something worked out.

Picked up the Descalso 1/1 A from the Own The Name set. I would really like to get the E from heartyourlife, but PC is PC I guess. Just wish it was in mine. This was an awesome week for me.

Could have sworn Quad Cities was a Cardinals affiliate as of last year.Had no idea they moved.Peoria isn't too far away, is it?Royals still have an affiliate in Omaha as far as I know of, though they changed their name.May go to Des Moines when Memphis plays there.How long is Taveras out for again?

It's possible I want both. It will depend on how much money I have when we are able to talk. Lol got to have money to buy cards XD

Last year yes. This year no. Peoria is about five hours each way from DM. No clue on Taveras, I say let him get 100% before throwing him back out. He's so young, health should come first.
