I’m jealous of whoever got these. I definitely think these went to a collector rather than someone looking to split things up. The price still seems a bit crazy though.

Chris---if someone is strictly a collector with no intent to sell them why would he want 891 of them ?

Maybe it was Tim Carroll, who cuts up cards to make artwork.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a Mantle poster that was made up of cut-up Mick cards?

Where else do you get that many vintage Mantle cards, for any price?

Yeah, and that ad is how the Leland's seller ended up with so many. That's stock market-level returns!

(or what about the fools who paid the extra dollar back then for Yazs over Clementes...suckers!)

I wouldn’t want 891 of them — I’d tried to get it to an even 1000. I love Mantle cards and have roughly 500 with duplicates. I think it would be great to have a few hundred more. And a large stack of the same card would be special. I don’t know. It’s weird but I see the draw.
