1960 Post Mickey Mantle cereal box back/side panels
I posted the story in the main page about this find, but thought it was appropriate to post the photos of the highlights here.

Thanks to another board member (huge shout out to Peter F) I was tipped off to a local Michigan Auction at the end of July which featured several lots originating from the estate of Tommy Bridges. The live auction was actually closing while I was on a flight back from the West coast, but I placed some strong early bids and my wife logged in and placed some live bids for me - so while I didn't clean sweep all the lots as I wanted, I did win many and was able to add hundreds of new items to my Tommy Bridges collection. I've been crazy busy with work this month, so I didn't even really get a chance to go through the items until today. I'm extremely happy to add hundreds of his personal photos, scrapbooks, effects, correspondence, and much more. Everything from his service related documents to his daughter's report cards. It will be awhile before I can catalog to all, but I pulled a couple items out to scan tonight so I'll share some here. And once again, many thanks to Peter F for tipping me off to the auction as I've been so busy lately I likely would have missed it.
Happy Collecting All!

Fantastic pickups Steven! Awesome stuff- congrats!
 BTW, Peter Fishman, the collector that tipped off Steven, is a true Mench. It amazes me how he has helped out many of us in the hobby build our own collections... Last edited by Scott Garner; 08-30-2025 at 05:41 AM.
