51 Bowman Mantle

I am not sure what's gotten into me today, I don't ever post like this. Saw this while browsing the 51 Mantle's. Nice chance for someone to pick up a great eye appeal Mantle on the cheap. To bad this Mick underwent the knife.

PS. This is not my card, nor anyone I know.

Dude, I know-- I've seen that one before. Talk about eye appeal. A nice AUTH for anyone in the market, no doubt. Imagine a resub of that slips by the goalie and becomes like an 8 LOL?!

Saw that one too. Its really nice looking, almost thought about downgrading to that and selling mine to fund a 52 but my brother would slap me silly!

As Mel Gibson once said: "Swing away Merrill......Merrill swing away"

Buy both and call it a day!

Now that is a quote, Miller. And you're talkin' to two guys whose dog was named Riggs after Mel Gibson. Deep call, Miller!

I have to add that the night I finally met and hung with him over some drinks-- it was a highlight. The guy is as real and chill as they come.

Well played! I may take the advice just yet. It certainly wouldn't be the dumbest thing I've ever done.

No. It certainly would not be.

Thats cool!

Greg, I think you should land that 51 Mantle AUTH, and make that 52 Mantle happen with your Mantle 4.
