Welcome to Net54. We're getting a lot of traffic coming from Blowout lately. I'm mjohnatgt over there and on COMC. Congrats on nailing a nice Mantle. We're just about the same age, but I've never dreaded turning 40. I'm flipping and selling on COMC to try to trade up for one of Dean's 1952 Topps Mantles. Got $2500 in store credit right now, so I'm 1/5th of the way to the PSA 1 or 1/7th of the way to the PSA 2. ;-)

Yup, I just found out about this message board. Since I collect a lot of vintage cards, I decided to join in. I'm only registered here and on BlowOut.

Since I'm big on rookie cards, I've always wanted the 1951 Bowman Mantle since I was a kid. I never thought I'd ever own one.

Good luck with the 1952 Topps Mantle!

Welcome to the boards! Hopefully your health fears will be unsubstantiated, but I understand your concerns. Your wife is definitely a keeper.

Great story.

My wife would probably get a me a fake Mantle, but maybe thats to match her fake...


(just kidding, she would get a me a real mantle, but probably one from 1969 in poor raw condition)

That was a super enjoyable read, and I love the photo with Mantle peeking out from behind the box lid. November 2018 can't get here fast enough.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, everyone! Truly appreciate the kind words!

With my health, it unfortunately just runs in my family. I work out, watch my diet, and watch my weight (try to stay between 170-175 lbs), but I still cannot get off my blood pressure pills. Luckily, I'm down to the lowest dose.

I know, right. Thank goodness she is a few years younger than I am, which gives me more time. Haha.
