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

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.

You made a wise choice...you can't go wrong with a Mantle! And that's a beautiful '4'!

Congratulations!!

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.)
