Time to get Mick back to page 1.

I missed the complete Page milk carton that was sold in a smaller auction. But I had gotten a cut out from the carton thanks to Net54 member Fred.

I also picked up this Meadow Sweet milk carton.

Hmmm, it seems the Mick had a few "favorite" milks. No wonder the FTC came down on him.

I had the magazine and when I saw the photo, I had to get it to match them up.

Yep. That was a nice looking '51 Mantle. I bought a boyhood collection from an 80 year old friend who had opened a lot of packs back in '51, 52, and 53. He had 2 rookie Mantles and 1 Mays. The Mantles graded 3 and 3.5. I think you got the 3.5 and I sold the 3 to another dealer. If I remember correctly(possibly not), I sold it on Ebay for $6K at the time in 2019. I think you did pretty good holding onto it since then. Congrats!

Just checked VCP. Actually sold for $6500!!!

Nice pick-up at a great price. I had this in my watch list and was going to bid on it at the last second. Then I got busy and I forgot about it. Glad that someone here got it.
