Good grief, that's nice. Or as I once heard someone say referring to the Mike Payne book, cards in "ridiculously high grade." Or further still, as Smokey & Craig would say...

DAYYYYYYYYUM!

I don't know why you guys get so hyped up about Mantle. I have heard his cards are over hyped, over rated and over valued

Yeah I saw that other thread. No disrepect to someone who is honestly posing "Why is Mantle..." type questions, but...really? I can understand that being asked in 1988, maybe - but not now for folks that have been around the hobby and especially collecting vintage for a while. Mantle is an anomaly, if you like - but it is what it is. I think he's going to be as blue chip as they come for the forseeable future...
