I would wear that whole uniform out anywhere, just to floss.

Here's my latest, an upgrade from the 7 that's been in my set since I bought it raw at a local show a dozen years ago. Thought the price was right on the latest BIN so I pulled the trigger.

Default 1959 Yankees team set

Added one more to my 1959 Yankees Team set. I finally found this card in a sweet condition, amazing colors and gloss.

Okay, that Run Preventers card looks like a 10 or a 9. How on earth is that a 7? Who cares, I guess. Beautiful. Depth of color is amazing.


And that's about as crisp a Carlton as exists.

Awesome Post War pickups continue!

Beautiful Carlton Rookie Andy! Congrats.

That has to be one of the best looking 59 Run Preventers I have seen. Really nice! Congrats.

I traded a friend for this card a long time ago and we finally sent our trades to each other. It has a really cool fingerprint that must have been done during printing as the card surface is perfect.

I seem to be on a Banks tear lately, so here's another. Like the '71 Brock, I refer to this card as the 'I found God' shot.

Congratulations Chris / BESTDJ777 on the acquisition of a 1960 Post Cereal Mickey Mantle. The heart of Mick's picture is flawless on your card. I'm sure you are already overwhelmed to have this highly prized Mantle.

As for authenticating the piece, I would encourage you to do so. I guess I was the first one to approach SGC about grading a 1960 Post. It was at the 2008 National at Chicago. Their head rep deliberated for a while, because he just wasn't sure it could fit in their over-sized holder. I told them to give it a try. It was an excellent decision. The Mantle JUST FIT. They did a first class job.

From my point of view, and in the context of what TPG constitutes as importance in our hobby, not to mention future potential value, it was the best way to go. There's been discussions regarding our cards as works of art. And so they are! As I'm sure you well know, any significant work of art, by necessity and propriety, requires a frame befitting it. Encapsulated in the elegant SGC holder not only did wonders for the card, in the end my framed 1960 Post Cereal Grape Nuts Flakes Mickey Mantle looks breathtaking.

A bit of friendly advice. Get some good eyeglass lens paper to GENTLY clean off your Mantle. During the previous 54 years, some dust might be nestled on it. ALWAYS rub from the inside of the card to off the card, to obviously avoid disturbing one of the four side edges. A can of compress air used to clean computers might be best to use first on the card.

Wishing you the best, and again, a hearty congratulations, my fellow collecting warrior. ---Brian Powell

When i got mine...thats the first thing i did..send it to SGC (tho i had asked around the SGC forums if they slabbed them...I was very pleased it received a 'Numeric' grade SGC 10 despite the chip on the back of the slab, which i was fine with.
I went with the Mantle craze and didnt focus as what i was colllecting too much..i went straight with base cards and saved the high-end ones for last to find ones that looked good. My goals have changed, as some know..i am basically selling most of them and keeping the high-ends to focus on what is now RC's, which i was doing before the addiction took over.
Bestdj777...is a total nut for Mantle..i just cant do it myself. I hope he continues with it more, despite the cost...Try get a stahl-meyer on the list, its tough finding a decent one without holes or paperloss.

Hey Brian,

Thank you for the compliment and the advice. I generally don't care about condition, but the condition of his face is a deal breaker. So, I am happy to add this one to the collection. Not sure if I am going to get it graded--I've never actually sent in anything for grading--but agree that this one is beautiful framed by SGC. As soon as I get a place where I can display my cards, I am probably going to send this in and cross my 51 Wheaties over. I am definitely going to try cleaning it though. Hopefully I can get some of the adhered paper off of the bottom of it with a light rub.

Chris, I don't think I am a nut. I am pretty sure I have an appropriate amount of Mantles Don't know if I can justify the money for the Stahls with some awesome foreign issues still outstanding. We will see though.

Haha, no change of a numerical grade. There is some damage by where the signature is located. It looks like there is either paper adhered to the surface or paper loss, and someone tried trace back over the signature to repair it. I believe it has a pinhole or two. it is a nice filler grade though and will allow me to save some money for when the next big card comes along.
