For me, it was the 1960 Post Mantle. First Mantle card I ever had. Ended up in the dump in the 60s.
Kept watching eBay and passing on lower condition examples. Finally, a nice one came up with a BIN or Best Offer. The BIN was slightly higher than "book value." I didn't hesitate or waste time with a Best Offer. Still don't regret pulling the trigger on it. As Janis Joplin sang, "Gotta get it while you can."
