It's the answer to the ancient Egyptian riddle, "What is a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle with twelve corners?"

"material loss" cracks me up. That's like saying that there's an uncard portion.

rather than half empty.

It's not so much "centering" that I object to, it's "card" that I can't get a grip on. What a riot.

And my car would be "brand new" if not for the 70,000 miles on it. heehee. What's that old joke? Other than that Mr. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

This has got to be the funniest auction I have ever seen.

I'd love to be the person selling the other third of the card, PSA authentic of course.

Thanks for the laugh!

'56 is off topic Actually I like seeing some of these as I can always use a good laugh. The centering is nice...and it does have nice corners...although there's 8 instead of 4.....regards all

I am sure glad he declared those spider creases.

Edited to correct typos unless otherwise noted.

This card actually has break value. You can buy it and then sell each half separately, garnering a tidy profit. Might actually be a good investment piece.

Has anyone checked the Beater War thread from a few weeks back to see if the missing piece is there??? lol

This is a rare variation of the original called the Mantle Morning after a Late-Nighter variation.
