Yes. He was finally elected by the Veterans' Committee a couple of years ago, not long after he died.

If there was actually a 1 in whatever chance to get the big hit out of these products than it would be worth the gamble for many, including myself. The big question I always have is how do I know I actually have a shot to pull the 52 Mantle? Even if it really was inserted into a box, how do we know that didn't end up with the guy putting this together, or his good friend?

Buy 3 or more Mystery Boxes and get a Certified Autographed Hall of Fame Player Card!!!!!

This would mean that they would have to keep all the HOF card boxes separate.

I think they mean they'll add it in as an individual card just not boxed.

They say they buy in bulk, so their cost is probably almost nothing. The shop I go to moved, and a bit before the move I asked if they had any commons boxes out back. I hadn't asked in a few years and figured I might pick up a few monster boxes of junk wax to hunt variations. Apparently he'd had them up in the magic/pokemon/whatever room but had just offloaded 2.5 million cards to a wholesaler so he wouldn't have to move them to the new space across the street.

Tell you what.....Just send me $100 a month or to make it quicker a week. Lump sum payments ok too- and eventually I'll send you one of the big hit cards from their list. Probably even before you've sent me the million they'd get from a sellout. Even better deal right? Guaranteed major card!

Of course to avoid false advertising of rookie cards the Mantle wouldn't be the 52 Topps.

wishing he had a few big deal beaters and a few big boxes of cheap rookies to turn into almost a million...

It doesn't bother me one bit that they "correctly" refer yet again to the '52 Topps Mantle as his rookie....
I think I'm going to go purchase myself a '52 Topps Mays rookie to calm down...

As much as we make fun of this stuff, these kinds of things sell like hotcakes in some circles. Unfortunately, this is kind of thing my dad would buy me, despite my repeated attempts to gently ask him to stop doing so. He knows nothing about cards and knows I love them. Everyone's a sucker in at least one regard....

I was thinking this, but I do see they list the 1951 Bowman also.

I didn't notice that.

They can include whatever they want. In MY offer the non-rookie cards* won't be included.

*To mean ones recognized by Becket only, as I'm sure there's a lot of cards listed that aren't actually a players first card.
