Thank you all for the kind words, greatly appreciate the feedback.

That's a pretty nice way to start a Mantle collection. Eye appeal that far surpasses the technical grade. Easily the nicest 1.5 I've ever seen.
|
Damn! Stunning card right there. Congrats!

Got this for fifty bucks. What do you all think of this 59 card?http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0b872f2ebd.jpg Seems way under value compared to the other ones, but it could be because it's not a real photo and it's a highlight card?

All Star Photo Pack Mantle
Now that the ebay auction is over I was wondering if any of our Net 54 Mantle collectors could offer any information on these items. Enclosed is the ebay link of the concluded auction. Did the usual search, A. H results/Google/various collector`s sites,Mantle Master set etc. but could only find one result from 10 years back. I`ve seen 3 on ebay over the last year or so with prices all over the place. Thanks again for any info on this cool period Mantle piece.

Photo Pack
Neal, Chris thanx for the info. Have gotten the Mantle "bug" over the last 2 months or so, bad timing as prices seem to be moving up AGAIN. Thought these would be a decent way to get an early period Mantle item without breaking the bank. Again, thanx for the information and guessing I`ll be checking this thread on a daily basis. Murph

Just my opinion.......Mantle cards look the best when printed with a Blue background............

agreed on a blue background on Mickey cards :)
This one came in yesterday .... Attachment 249116Attachment 249117 not a tough card to find, not high grade, and not an expensive Mick, but one that has been difficult to find centered. Love the backs on these All Stars! Looks great with a 58 All Star (which is one of his most appealing cards imo) |

Both very nice cards! :) |
Thanks Dale!

Nice 59 All-Star Mantle
Nael,
Great centering on that Mantle. |

I just picked up one of these Holiday Inn cards from another Mantle collector. Anyone in here know anything more about them i.e. year, rarity, etc? It is the size of a regular baseball card. Thanks. |

Chris, you are right it wasn't the correct picture...the description seems to match though. The photo is the same as the Black & White and Premium photocard but this one is the "baseball card" size. The back w/corner of thumb for scale :)

Well I bought it from a guy high up on the Master registry that said he is working with PSA to have them graded, so I guess I will wait and see...if you look at the 58 premium photo card and this one under a loupe the cardstock, cut, and printing (black pixels) are basically the same.

Just finished up that 53 Mantle earlier today. Cut junk era commons (with some other more recent commons spattered in). |

Thanks for sharing! :) |
The upper left corner is bumped a bit. That'll lower the grade a little. :)

Here are my other Mantles....sorry for the bad photos. I'll have the '62T, 56T, and 52B done at some point in the near future. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...psso2ux5jz.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...psjs1on6lw.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...psqrsda4yl.jpg Tim |

On average, how long does it take to complete one like posted above? Those are beauties too! |
Tim,
Those are amazing. Really nice work, and something you should be proud of. I admire your talent! |

Not mine but a friends who is not a member just picked it up. A very cool 1963 Jello Mickey Mantle with a print offset. I love the print error cards like these. Those double eyes are awesome!:)

Those are so cool! I gotta be honest though, when I zoom in and see all those faces it kinda creeps me out:eek:

Picked up part of a Mantle (the front is of Davenport and is fairly well centered):

Here are a few items from my current Mantle run to contribute to the thread. Working on PSA 8 and higher from 1956-1969 in Topps only. Due to budget, scarcity, and mainly budget keeping my 52 and 53 examples in their current grades - IMO it would be hard to improve them without selling my house :D
