Not sure what to say about that Mike. Great pickup but that YooHoo didn’t age all that well

I bet if I were to shake it up and put it in the fridge, it would taste the same as it would have 60 years ago - blech.

Kept this ‘56 Mantle from a big vintage collection I sold years ago. Goes well with the signed and graded Mantle baseball.

I picked up a 1960 Venezuelan Mantle Sticker. It is approximately 2 inches by 3-1/8 inches These are apparently pretty rare.

But I have a problem with it. It has a tear at the top that is about 1.5 cm long. The tear occurred while in transit. The seller simply put the sticker in a penny sleeve, put that in a top loader, and then put that in a 9-by-12 mailer. It was able to freely move about within the mailer. Consequently, the penny sleeve arrived out of the top loader and the sticker out of the penny sleeve. And it was torn which it wasn't previously.

I would like to get a partial refund from the seller due to his negligent packaging and subsequent damage. The question is, how much should I push for? I suppose that would depend on how much the value is after the tear. That would be subtracted from what I paid to determine the refund. So, the question is, how much would this be worth with the tear?

Recent pick-up, very clean 80-page catalog from Rawlings 1959 featuring Mickey Mantle.

Hey Ben, unfortunately I still need one of the bottle caps, the variant of the one on the bottle. That, plus the two other bottles.
