Boy Al... those are fantastic pins! Man oh Man, would I love to get my hands on one of those "61 in 61" pins to go with my 1961 Maris Collection!

Thanks Jimmy were you talking about one of these two?

Despite being a die-hard Red Sox fan I've managed to tolerate this one in my collection for a while. I'm also the proud owner of a 1960 Topps Mantle that was locked inside an old tackle box for a number of years. Thanks to age and moisture it is now essentially adhered to the "protective" screwdown it was encased in. Can't find a scan of it though, which is probably for the better... it's really quite sad looking.

The hardest one of all the Mantle PM10s that I had to find (in nice condition) was the Yellow back ground one at the bottom. I believe in 1 3/4 size this is all the Mantles there are that arenot repro or fake.

When I won this from a top end auction house last year I was pumped because I was going to have this framed with a really awsome pic of the Mick and what a conversation piece it would be.

I took it to get it authenticated at last year's National in Chicago and was heartbroken when it came back as unauthentic. I was given a refund right away from the auction house but this is one item that I really wanted.

At least the auction house didn't give you that answer!

Wow! I was the underbidder on that piece. It certainly would have been a great piece to display. Glad you got your money back.

Best, Jimmy

Hey guys, first time in. Did they give you a reason why they thought this mantle was no good. I wouldnt take either of those companies as the final word. I'm curious whether Jodi or Richard have an opinion on this. I would say it's good.

Looks like a real Mantle to me
