Chris: You have BOTH 1955 Exhibit Card Postcard backs? One with the plain line and one with the Mutoscope line on the back?

Couldn't pass on this beauty for 20 bucks
1975 Topps Yount.jpg
(the Yount, Brett and 1980 Topps Rickey will always be $250 cards in my mind!)

Nope. I don't have the Pittsburgh Exhibit Mantle, either of the postcard back Exhibits, or the Dad's Cookies. I set my collecting goals at what I could reasonably expect to find. My thoughts were that I would add those cards that a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s could reasonably expect to find. From my understanding, I believe the Postcard backs had very limited distribution. In total, I have been able to pick up 235 different cards. I think there are roughly another 30 cards out there that were issued of Mantle (foreign, Topps test cards that were issued, and regional issues). I really hope to be fortunate enough to continue to define, and conquer, my "set" as money, time, health, and good luck allow. Right now, I have already moved 7 cards from my would like list to my want list. Someday, I hope to pick up the rest.

Want to sell your postcard backs?

love those post cards

Bought the magazine last week and not sure if I posted it--it is complete and both cards appear to be in great shape. Thanks Scott! Just picked up the color photo today. I've seen it described as a 1969 Team Issued Photo, but if anyone knows more about it I would love to hear. It looked period, and I have a thing for affordable premium issued photos.
