In 1984 at the ripe age of 11, I opened the greatest pack of my life, and just happened to be a pack of Donruss cards. Same pack had a pair of Don Mattingly rookie cards in it. He was the rage at the time, and 2 days later I made one of the best trades of my life, traded that pair of Mattingly’s for a 1956 Mantle in EX condition and a beat up 1958 Mantle. Sold the ‘56 9 years later to make a down payment on my wife’s engagement ring, I still have the ‘58 Mantle.
