Rob, Congratulations on the '69 Topps Mantle pick-up. A visually stunning card. For whatever it's worth, back in 1969, as a 15 year old, I pulled two Mickey Mantles like yours from wax packs. Both of mine were just as off-centered as yours! I tried; oh well. I was just glad to get what I figured was Mickey's last card, with that solemn and befitting gloomy gray sky looking like it's about to rain. Reminiscent of our sadness that the mighty Mick had left and gone away. I am happy to report that I still have one of those treasured 1969 Mantles. ---Brian Powell
