Big thanks to whiteymet who helped me acquire this gem. By the way, still looking for both postcard backs.

Another awesome pickup Mike.
Picked up the 1957 Team set minus Kubek last week.

Has anyone seen this before? Looks modern but has his 1955 stats on the back.

Thanks Larry. There’s one I found locally that looks beat up so thought might have found something rare for an instant.

I am looking for any information on this early 1960s Mantle postcard. The only image I found so far was one picture with limited info on the Worthpoint site. In a different article, I read that Mickey was admitted to Lenox Hill Hospital in 1961 during the HR chase. Could this postcard be from 1961, but was still being mailed to fans in 1963? Was Mantle at Lenox Hill again after 1961? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Recent pickup for $15 including shipping. 1981 Perez-Steele. Didn't know much about these, but couldn't resist the old school /10,000.

Anyone remember his card from a few years ago. Does anyone know the story behind it? Apparently PSA and SGC would not grade it.

Here's the thread from a few years ago about the card when it first showed up:

Are you now the proud owner of that card? If so, a huge congratulations! So far, I think that is a one of a kind.

Finally got a chance to take some pics of items I've picked up in the last month or two. Thanks to Fred for the Post Cereal retail display (Mick on one side, Roger on the other).
