Very nice!

Jeez Sniffy, that display is incredible. The CJ advertisement on the top left shelf is icing on the cake.

Since this is a Mantle thread I will share his RC and 2nd year card. :D

Beautiful cards and collection, Dave!

Whoa!!!! Dave, That '51 Bowman is really beautiful! (And worth a fuck ton of $$). Awesome cards, both! Splendid....

First post here and although it's not vintage,it's the only Mantle card I own:

Nice card!

Welcome to the site. :)

Just notice. Is that the Bruce McNall we all know (Gretzky/Wagner card) or is it someone else?

Thanks.

I'd imagine it's the same Bruce McNall.

Another LCS pick up today.

Presents well for a mid grade imo.

NICE, David!

1953 Stahl Meyer
 

Was extremely happy to add this one recently.

I knew I could not get one as nice as Michael's Mantle card he won from
Mile High back in November. I was just hoping for one that was clean.
This was the one for me!

picked up this rarity...they all come with staple holes as attached to cookie bag

That's a sexy piece!!!

Wow!

Wow, amazing collection you have there. I love the way you have it displayed. And the two mantles just for the icing on the cake. LOL

Great pickup Larry. Insanely difficult to find and that one looks like a great example. If you'd ever like to sell it at a substantial loss, please let me know :)

Just saw the completed listing on eBay. It's insane what you got that for. Huge score!

I overpaid chris

Just Back From PSA

Yes, John- that's a really nice 51

Thanks Todd!

David

Tony,

Love the 1953 Stahl Meyer! You won't ever regret getting that one. IMO, it is his best card.

judgebuck (David)

Great pick up Sir, ah the face of youth what can you say. Enjoy this item Larry it`s a beauty.

Thanks David! Probably my pickup of the year or years!

Tony

I posted this in BST by accident earlier but since it fits the theme here and I don't want to start another thread, and this should be the perfect spot for helping me identify my 'latest pickup':

Top Left: 1951 Wheaties (Thanks RedsFan1941)
Top Right: 1958-1961 Jay Pub Photos Type 1 Portrait (a friend off site)
Bottom Left: 1967 Topps Pin Up (Thanks Rats60)
Bottom Right: 1968 Topps Posters (thanks, again Rats60)


If possible, could someone give me an idea of their 'value'? I trust this board much more than any price guide...

Feels like I did pretty well on this lot already.

Picked up this recently.

Trying this.

Nice card. One of my favorites that I regrettably don't own!

1957 Mick
 

My favorite one yet and first from the 50s. I have all from the 60s except 62. I was so excited to come home today knowing this card was waiting for me. Love love LOVE IT. Scott

Nice P/U. :)

Thanks, Irv. :cool:

Big thumbs up on that card!

Thanks, Dave! This card is tickling the kid, historian, "investor", 57 set collector, and Mantle run collector g-spot in my brain all at once. Back to the hunt...

1963 Peel Off - Instruction Back
 

Half tempted to send this to PSA to see how they would grade it. Glad to pick this fun piece up, particularly at the price point. Interesting enough, while the back appears to be double-printed, it is roughly centered.

Neither seem excited to be sharing the same card...

Have been looking for this card for a long time. Finally found the right condition at the right price!

Nice card!

Congrats. :)

First Mantle, but surely not my last!!
 

My Favorite Mantle Card, finally got one!!

Home from SGC and lookin sharp
 

Figured it belongs in this thread now that it's graded, despite also being pictured earlier in lot form...

Great looking card tuckr

Thanks man
 

Thanks man !! No creases, corner pretty beat up but love this card

1951 Bowman RC (future 40th bday gift from my wife, so I cannot open it until November 2018)

So you honestly didn't look at the whole card?!?! Sir, your self control is amazing.

I am probably the only one in the world that cares about this variation but still pleased to pick up the Canadian version of the magazine:

http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/XRwAAO...k8/s-l1600.jpg

I did, to make sure the card was good. My wife told me I just cannot take a full picture of it until my 40th birthday. This photo was taken right before she wrapped it up and placed in our safe. She said it's the only photo I can have. :)

It is just hilarious that Richard Burton and Liz are all dressed up in their Egyptian/Roman regalia, looking imperial and what not, and there's Dick smoking a butt!!! Luckily that shot didn't make it into the film. Ha ha!!

Just picked up the two PSA 2s to add to the others I had--one I bought raw and sent in and one I bought already graded:

2 good to be true, Chris!:rolleyes: Hey, congratulations, bro. I remember a few years back when you were hotly pursuing this card, and placed your desire of the same on the bottom of every thread you posted. I won't ask you to divulge your plans, but I know you will make good choices all around.

Hope all is well for you and your growing family.:D

Best regards, Brian Powell

Thanks Brian! I remember those days. This was one of my white whales and I searched for ever before drastically overpaying for the PSA 1(MC). Since then, I haven't been able to resist grabbing them when I find them for a fair price. I think there are twenty total graded. So, I'll probably grab one more so I can have 25% of the graded population. At some point, I'm sure I'll sell or trade a couple of them as I don't "need" more than one. But I plan to enjoy the in the interim. Hope all is well with your family as well! My son says, "wahh!", which I'm assuming means hi?

My first signed Mantle.

Lot of really great Mantles. Dave and Tony, love your 1953 Stahl-Meyers.

Chris, unfortunately, you're not alone. I've also been looking for that. Congratulations on the pick-up.

When are you going to start your collection of one from every state? :eek:

Haha, shortly before my wife divorces me :)

Just got this in the mail: Mickey Mantle McFarlane Collectors Edition (2006)
