Jonathan----You have a nice collection going there with Mick's fine gum cards. I sure wish you the best, bro. I like your mitts, too. Finally, welcome back to the immediate post-war collecting. Glad to have you back, bro!!!!!!
Sounds like the 19th century cadre incurred a huge loss with your decision to return to our era. Wishing you the very best, and hope you're able to enjoy the hobby with your 12-year old son. That's terrific!IF you and your son enjoy reading, a few years ago I wrote an E-book on a CD about the immediate post-war niche of collecting regional / food issues. Mr. Mantle is featured in a few chapters. As I so enjoyed your post, I would be happy to send you a complimentary copy. By some small chance, perhaps your son might find it amusing, even interesting. Simply send me your mailing address, Jonathan. You can reach me here or at my email address: bfpowell2003@yahoo.com. Understand, you will need a disk drive on your computer or laptop to read it. Just a friendly offer, bro; no strings attached. Have a swell day. --- Brian Powell

This is my first solo Mantle. I've had a couple of League Leader/Home Run/World Series type cards. But this is the first one of ONLY Mantle.
I went to DFW this weekend to do some Christmas shopping. I stopped into SMP because I had some bonus money to blow, and I hadn't opened anything in a long, long time. I was eyeing some 2020 Topps Chrome for around $225/box because I like the brand and the look of the cards. But then I saw this in the case for $25 less. I know it was probably a big mistake passing up the Topps Chrome hobby box because it probably had a $1k card in it. But I'm happy with the purchase.

Recently picked up the following items:
A Rawlings Mantle Fleetfoot baseball shoe box with Fleetfoot cleats. (I'm thinking if I cut my toes off I might be able to jam my feet into the cleats.) Unopened Yoo-Hoo syrup bottle. (Now to refrain from opening it up to revel in the 60 year old chocolatey goodness inside.)
