Awesome Mantle Dave! One of the first vintage cards I bought when I was a young lad was a '69 Mantle. Sure wish I still had it. Congrats!

Thanks Dean, I'm almost certain 1969 was my first year of buying cards ( I was 7). Alas, none survived. The earliest childhood cards which made it all the way thru to today are 1970- and most of those are football

Hit a cool milestone yesterday with the day's mail...got this 69 Topps Fergie that completes my 3rd 1969 Topps set. In my quest to upgrade my first set I was able to put together another VGEX set, and then the quest to upgrade that set let to another VG set..

This Fergie (after I freed it from the PSA bondage) replaces the card in my 2nd set which dropped that card to my 3rd set which is now COMPLETE.

My only question now is do I upgrade my 2nd set to EXNM and create a 4th set? My wife thinks I'm crazy but I have to believe I have folks here that quite understand...

Everyone is different, but I think it might not be a bad idea to maybe listen to her once in a while. Harliduck.

Starting back to work on my '65 Topps set. I have some commons on the way, but I like these two rookies...
