54 Topps Mantle question
 

delete; wrong board

If you have a '54 Topps Mantle, it is priceless :D

I'm no fortune teller, but I don't see this thread lasting very long here :D

yeah, made a typo and cant change title

Do you mean the 52 Topps card?

I can't answer for anything pre 1980s... that's when I was a kid and I started collecting. It was THE card back then, just as it is now. I do know Mantle was the most popular player in the 50s, and that the hobby grew considerably throughout both the 50s and the 60s. His rookie card coinciding with the first Topps set was just a match made in heaven.

what I meant, too much multitasking. deleted original message.

wish I could figure out how to fix typos in title of a post. I've been making a habit of it.

There was a 54 Topps Mantle issued in a Sports Illustrated magazine but I have not seen one for sale separated from the other cards in the magazine.

Without having to post your name! It's awesome.

I believe the OP is talking about the card that Upper Deck made to be compatible with the 1994 Topps Archives '54 set.

oh! More pre war topics...dandy!

Of course it is.
