The official Mickey Mantle Pickup Thread. All Mick, all the time!

Here are some of the Mantles that I picked up in the last year or so. I bought the PSA 6 Red Heart one and decided to do the set. I later replaced the 6 with the 8.

Holy Smokes! The 54 is one of my dream cards! Congrats on those beauties!

Nothing too too big, but this particular has a beautiful surface.

Good stuff Dave, and with the angle and light source you did a better job than Topps in blotting out the little phantom guy on the 57 card

Lol.

Yes, I guess I did unintentionally.

Just bad lighting in my apartment. Angled shots work best at the moment.

If selling, I would use the flash and take better close ups of course.

here's some old school mickey mantle auto stubs:










and the card that i probably shoveled 3 driveways to pay for to get signed w/ one of those stubs:








and finally the ball that was signed w/ the other stub and the "classic acrylic ball/card holder" that was the christmas gift that followed shortly there after:


(anyone else remember these things?)

Cool accumulation and how you acquired them. Cool little story.
