One on my all time favorite cards. And just think even with the hole it's still 99% all there. That makes it an "A".

Nice pick up.

Great Clemente, Greg; but it is not "raw", it is in it's natural and intended, unfettered state

[gregr2]

Better??

My all time favorite Clemente card

Last one needed for my set (all Mantle cards issued except foreign, regional, and test issues).

A big thank you to a Net54 member who reached out after seeing me post regarding this card. Creeping along toward set completion as I was able to add 3 in 2013.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what set is this card from?

Chris: You have BOTH 1955 Exhibit Card Postcard backs? One with the plain line and one with the Mutoscope line on the back?

Couldn't pass on this beauty for 20 bucks
1975 Topps Yount.jpg
(the Yount, Brett and 1980 Topps Rickey will always be $250 cards in my mind!)

Nope. I don't have the Pittsburgh Exhibit Mantle, either of the postcard back Exhibits, or the Dad's Cookies. I set my collecting goals at what I could reasonably expect to find. My thoughts were that I would add those cards that a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s could reasonably expect to find. From my understanding, I believe the Postcard backs had very limited distribution. In total, I have been able to pick up 235 different cards. I think there are roughly another 30 cards out there that were issued of Mantle (foreign, Topps test cards that were issued, and regional issues). I really hope to be fortunate enough to continue to define, and conquer, my "set" as money, time, health, and good luck allow. Right now, I have already moved 7 cards from my would like list to my want list. Someday, I hope to pick up the rest.

Want to sell your postcard backs?
