Haha, I will think about the finders fee. To be honest, I am not entirely sure what it is either. I saw another one that Mantle sent to a fan in 1967 in response to an autograph request, so I assume it was some sort of team, or personal, issue from 1966/67. I wish there was a resource for these team issue photos as I have a handful that I just cannot date.

I guess they come in bunches. A month + off, and suddenly a handful of HOF rookies seemingly fall into my lap. This being the lone post-war one so far. I would've been happy to leave the '55 Golden stamp as my Alston representative, but I'm not one to pass up a nice deal on a pre-rookie minor league issue, especially on a "type" that wasn't represented yet in my collection..

Nice pick-up, Dave.

Finished my '58 set (been needing the Mick for over a year), and put big dents into my '55 and '66 sets (all high #'s). Good month for me!

Glad to add these to the collection.

Wow, go away for a week and all hell breaks loose all over the boards, rookie pickups are going nuts, and ML auction last night was insane! I guess the hobby is riding high right now.

I don't know a lot of you here, but I love these oddball rookies everyone is picking up. Matty, great looking cards, strong eye appeal as usual. I love the looks of that Carew RC.

Congrats guys!
