Nearing the completion of my 53-69 Mantle run, very excited to get this one. Far from a perfect card, but I love it nonetheless. View attachment 65259

Thanks! 53 and 54 Bowman, 56 and 57 Topps mainly. Still need a few leaders cards, have the all star and multi player cards, although I plan to do some upgrades once it's complete.

I know this is supposed to be pickups, but I had to vent. Waited forever for one of these to show up and flat out failed to set a snipe before the 4pm end time. Ezra Sutton "Milwaukees"

Beautiful Mantle for a 2!!!!!
I hate it when I miss out on something I've waited for. Missed out on a 1956 Rizzuto pin last week.

Another Diamond Stars card. This arrived on 10/17/16, but I'm just now posting it. Van Mungo, number 102, out of the high number cards in the set.

Edit (trying to fix my app issues): Finally picked up the last regular issue Mantle Topps card on my list:Me too! Started on Tuesday I think. Very annoying.

Finally got another copy of this card. In my opinion, one of the coolest looking baseball cards ever made.

With the arrival of a 54 Bowman Mantle, I finally finished the Mantle run I've been putting together the past couple years. I may pick up the 52 and 53 Bowman at some point in the future, and will probably keep picking up leader cards, oddballs and team cards as I run across them. My initial goal was the base cards from 54-69 as well as AS, MVPs, etc., and multi player cards, but ended up branching out a bit. I'll also work on a few upgrades, as there are a couple I was disappointed with once I got them in hand. I obviously went for collector grade stuff, but still wanted good presentation. Overall very happy to finish this project.
