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

Welcome back, Matt!

I love the Exhibit Mantle you posted. I imagine what it was like to face Mantle as a Major League pitcher. I'd have pissed down my pants leg. A.), I'd be worried Mantle was going to rip a 500 ft bomb that would assume orbit, messing up my ERA, and my team's chances to win the game, and B.) that he might send a ball screaming at my head at 140 mph.

If it had been Mantle that hit Herb Score in the face, he might have killed him.

Awesome Mantles as always. Good to have you back on the forum.

Thx, guys. The National time of year got me all back in to card mode. Wish work these days allowed me more time for talking cards!

I wish I could work so I could get the cards I want.

I can't afford the high end stuff. I really enjoy the mid grades with eye appeal that suits me.







Found this one in Pittsburgh at a shop and self submitted it.

Dude, those are pretty high-end! Love the print quality on the 61, the perfect black on that card is key. And the deep, even red of the 59. 53 Bowman is one of prettiest cards around. Hope you are at the show having fun!

What I was thinking as well! No way I could likely afford those.

Didn't go Matt. Between the prices on everything now a days and the location, I just didn't have any desire to make the trip to Atlantic City. The 60 Mantle you posted is flat out off the charts. That's my favorite card of Mantle. I am partial to the the horizontal cards on the whole.
