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

Since we are talking Mantle’s here is my updated run of Mantle cards to date. Recent pickups have been the 1957 at the Natty and the 58 was pre Natty - used the funds early but it was too nice to pass up. Thinking of subbing the 57 and 58 after several commented that they look like they are in the wrong holders.

First photo is of my initial run of Mantles which I was going to do in PSA 8 and higher post 1953, but when I started finding nicely centered lower graded cards and much cheaper I went that route.



This is my current run of Mantle cards.



Better scans of the new additions.





Enjoy.

Those 56s look awesome. If you ever want to move any please let me know. Very nice centering!

That’s a great looking collection of Mantles KC. Thanks for taking the time to share them. I love looking at everyone’s cards.

Centered Mantles look great in any grade. I often prefer lower grade centered examples as well, especially considering the money you save compared to an 8 that may not be centered as well.

Thank you for the nice comments Matt and glad you liked the cards.

Very excited about these two new additions to my Mantle set. They have kicked my 1914 CJ Cobb out the house, though, LOL. Mick's Bowman cards are among my favorites.

Always felt the 1952 Bowman is the biggest steal of all his basic issues. Registration/image focus is always a challenge on these two.

When centered and in that condition, the 54B may well be my favorite regular issue of Mick

Nice additions! Congratulations

Just got this cool card graded (and have since tapped on the holder to straighten it out)...

Thx, Matt! Hope all is well with you, brother.

Anyone else see the centered 52T Mick PSA 6 at REA cracking 100,000 already? Wow.
