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

[whiteymet]

Here is a "new" 1/1 of Mick!

It is about 14" or 15" tall

Picked this up because I am sure someone will want this cool piece of folk art that is looking for a new home.

Nice gets, David.

That Foes card was high on my list when I joined this site back in 2016.
Really surprised they don't go for a lot more, but that's me.

Hey Chris. I just saw these myself a little over a month ago. I have too many irons in the fire to collect the set, but as soon as I saw that Topps included a nice replica of their long-ago test issue, the Dice Game, I bought one----and love it. The quality is just fine. Chris, I also feel Topps went out of their way to really get the beautiful blue background color, and the color of Mickey's face, JUST RIGHT on the 1952 Topps. I bought one of those, too, and just am thrilled by it as well.

Hope you pull some beauties, bro. Happy collecting. --- Brian Powell

Pretty amazing 1.5. Must be some paper loss that's not obvious.

Just pulled from the 3 packs today-
Tho i have questions??????
I noticed on the 51B it doesnt have the 70 logo on it and the 53B as well.
I totally was impressed getting both the 51& 52 and also the dice game.

Hey, Chris. That's a mighty nice array of those 2021 Topps X Mickey Mantle cards you have there! So glad you pulled the Dice Game; that baby is such a beauty. For such a mysterious and alluring card that's as rare as rare can be, wasn't it nice of Topps to allow us Mantle collectors the privilege of owning a genuine well-done reprint?

My guess as to the absence of the 70 logo on the two Bowmans is because Topps did not own Bowman at the time.

Cheers. --- Brian Powell

Recently picked up a 63 Mantle, from a member on here (thank you, Anthony) I've been searching for the "right" one for a while, I think this fits the bill for now. Presents very nicely, and gets me a little closer to my goal. I'm now only missing the 51 Bowman, 65 Topps, 67 Topps and a 69 Topps, in my journey to get a Mantle from every year from his career. I do eventually want to add a 52 and 53 Topps to my collection. The latter is more realistic than the former. With the former, I'm going to have to wait until retirement, as teaching unfortunately does not pay nearly enough for me to afford a 52 Mantle at the moment!

Those signed Mantles, are a beauty. Love seeing those.
