Thanks all. Still looking for this card in the opg.

[roger rabbit]

It won't be in the OPG. The executive cuts are made when someone submits an authenticated sig to Leaf (along with $40) and Leaf then makes it into a trading card. So someone sent them that auto and Leaf made the card, but there's no info on it because it's not part of a company-issued release. Hope that makes sense.

ahh. well i could have sworn i saw it in the org. oh well. at least it was slabbed by beckett. thanks

[roger rabbit]

Yeah, the sigs have to be authenticated by PSA or the like before Leaf will slab them, so you know the auto is legit. They call every card they do a 1/1 because each is different, and because Leaf does it in house, beckett has no info on them, hence not being in the OPG.

Thanks. I went to leafs website and read how they do it. In fact since mine was the first 1/1 for that year card, it has a gold frame.

Sweet man, can't go wrong with a Mantle auto at the end of the day. Congrats.
