Has anyone seen this before? Looks modern but has his 1955 stats on the back.

Magazine card from the 80s

Thanks Larry. There’s one I found locally that looks beat up so thought might have found something rare for an instant.

Sweet Pick ups!!
 

Happens sometimes - stuff sneaks through on Ebay! 2 Really incredible items!!

Enjoy.

Nice pick up!

Recent pickup for $15 including shipping. 1981 Perez-Steele. Didn't know much about these, but couldn't resist the old school /10,000.

Wow!!!

Anyone remember his card from a few years ago. Does anyone know the story behind it? Apparently PSA and SGC would not grade it.

Here's the thread from a few years ago about the card when it first showed up:

Are you now the proud owner of that card? If so, a huge congratulations! So far, I think that is a one of a kind.

Finally got a chance to take some pics of items I've picked up in the last month or two. Thanks to Fred for the Post Cereal retail display (Mick on one side, Roger on the other).

Should I cut up the box?

I'm pretty sure you were being facetious (at least I hope you were), so I won't answer the question. :)

Three very nice items!

Worth more cut up
Panel and a single for the set registry
I'm a purist...but?

That is a major problem with the registry. IMO.

Nice pickups as usual Mike!
Larry, sweet Big League Statue box. On my want list.
Say No to complete box cutting.

Hello everyone. I'm brand new here and I wanted to show off the part of my small collection that I'm most proud of. The dream is to own a card from every year the Mick played, 52 will give me the toughest time in terms of how much it costs, but I have plenty of time left to reach my goal. Most of the cards are ungraded, I do have to send them into PSA in the near future, as they were apart of a collection I started with my father when I was young. Most of them would probably be low grades anyway, but I'm not too concerned about that. Not like I'm intending on selling them anyway. The most recent additions are the 54 Bowman and the 61 Topps, which I acquired over this past summer. Thanks so much for your time, the Album is below!

Well done! You’re on your way!

Welcome aboard, James. So glad you decided to come on board, matey. I wish you the very best to complete your dream collection of Mickey Mantle begun with your Dad. A connection as precious as that is would be very special.
You sure have some nice Mickeys, buddy. Don't be in a hurry, James, and even with collecting Mantle, it's still a good idea to be selective / picky and thus choose cards that have good eye appeal to YOU. Have fun and keep us posted.:D

Stay safe, and have a swell day. --- Brian Powell

Postcard from 1963
 

I am looking for any information on this early 1960s Mantle postcard. The only image I found so far was one picture with limited info on the Worthpoint site. In a different article, I read that Mickey was admitted to Lenox Hill Hospital in 1961 during the HR chase. Could this postcard be from 1961, but was still being mailed to fans in 1963? Was Mantle at Lenox Hill again after 1961? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Hospital PC

Now I know how to describe it - 1963 hospital postcard. Thanks Ben

Thanks Curt!
A couple of pickups from recent weeks. Most from net54 members.

59 Yoo-Hoo Bottle Caps - name above and below Yoo-hoo varieties, still need the third variety
69 Yankees Malanga Panel
63 Hospital Postcard
1910-1957 Baseball Magazine M114, 8.5x11

Great pick-ups Ben! I'd be more than happy to take the Yoo-Hoo name above, the Hospital postcard, and the Baseball magazine picture off your hands. :D

All yours Mike... just send me your Dad's and Rawlings :) Super fair trade. hahaha

Posted something like this 4-5 years ago but got some free time and a little helper (my son), so I figured I’d get an updated picture of the collection minus a pin I forgot to take out of the box and a couple of posters that are in tubes somewhere... It’s always nice to flip through things every once in a while and discover some things I forgot I even bought.

I stand up and cheer, Chris! While I cannot see very clearly amidst the tiny picture, I KNOW you got the goods----that's one powerful array of Mick Charles, as he fancied calling himself not too long before he made the bigs, a neat take-off on Nick Charles, THE THIN MAN. I find it precious that you have a little helper, a natural way to bud his curiosity.

While my little guy never caught the baseball card bug, he most assuredly has the collecting bug. He has a spectacular collection of Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as 90s video games, housed in glass cases.

Though I do not have my collection of cards in a glass case, I chose the venue of a converted five-drawer heavy steel blueprint cabinet. My cards don't get hit with any light, except for the few minutes when I pull a drawer out to admire. You might recall these photos, Chris, from the summer of 2016, when I posted them on here. Nothing's changed, though I've added a pair of gorgeous 1962 Gehl's Gold Mine Ice Cream premiums of Roger Maris to enrich my Mantle - Maris collection. To load up the photos below, I again needed the help of my former little helper, who is now 32; my dear son Sam.

All the best to you and your family, Chris----always!:D

---Brian Powell

Thanks Brian! I swapped it out for a larger photo. I love your display and the mix of new and old cards. I also love the cabinet—I’d be in heaven if I had room for a flat file as I could store my cards and art altogether.

Dug out a few haven't posted

:eek: I can send photos of the Dad's and Rawlings. That should be a fair trade, right? :p

Chris, Brian, and Larry -

Thanks!! What a great way to start the week. Very tasty eye candy indeed!! Love the pictures! Now if I can just pull myself away to get some work done.

Not sure how this is only a 5. I mean yeah, the centering is off, but it’s in the 30/70 range at worst... I have gone over it with a fine toothed comb several times, and can’t really find anything else.

Anyone seen this Mantle item before?
 

OK Mantle guys. Help me out here! Anyone ever seen the below?

The info I got on them is these statues were bagged, stapled onto a baseball like tag with a string that were sent to a cap company soliciting them to use them as a promo item for their baseball caps.

The cap company decided not to use them.

The company who made the statues obviously then offered them to Tastee Freez for them to use to promote attaching the statue to their ice cream bowl. See ad below.

I picked up Mantle, Musial both shown as well as Campy, Berra, Reese, Lemon and Antonelli

Curious if anyone else has any of these?

Sorry, don't know how to rotate the Mantle Musial photos

Fred

Tastee freez
 

Btw....does anyone have the cups that the statue fits on
I found the cups the fit the international dolls they gave away but the baseball players dont fit

Larry:

I have a few cups.

Nice...yeah the cups for the international statues dont fit like that

Larry:

What do you know about the bagged figures?

Fred

Statues
 

Just a guess...would be leftovers from tasteefreez/dairy queen

Would be my guess too. Or it could be a fantasy piece/creation using the Dairy Queen statutes. It's the first I've seen of the bags.

The cups are cool. Is there any writing on them?

Holy buhgod :eek:

What grade is your '52T? I'm surprised the other cards don't spontaneously move a bit away to give it space

Larry and Chris

As I mentioned in my first post, the info I got was that they were offered to the cap company first and all others sent to the cap company were destroyed. THN they went to Tastee Freeze

The only thing on the cup is underneath on the bottom. See:

Why do all my photos turn sideways????

Mantle
 

Only makes sense tastee freez 1st
They already had statues and cups for other promotions
Sell the leftovers after the promotion

Thanks Fred. I appreciate the photo - something else to search for. I tend to agree with Larry but who knows at this point

I purchased my first vintage card (58 Topps Mantle) last weekend and this might be the most painful wait for mail... I feel like a 5 year old running to check the mailbox (or shipping notifications) haha

Beautiful, Zach. I hope your eyes enlarge with joy when you catch your first glimpse of your new Mickey. Congratulations, bro. Let us know how you feel about it when you FINALLY get it in the mail!

--- Brian Powell

Cool item Fred! Never seen that one before...Thanks for sharing.

Ben

LOL. Now you know how I feel about every Mantle card still. I’m 43...

Haha just arrived and couldn't be happier with first purchase! This one might be a little miscut (thoughts?) but was fairly cheap for the grade. Regardless, I'm hooked and already looking for the next purchase!

How did u know I got it for the schwall

I know this is a pickup thread, but, figured I pick all of your collective brains concerning what I'm looking for. I've taken recent interest in the 52 Berk Ross Mantle. It just seems like one of the more affordable options in terms of owning a Mantle from 1952. The only listings I'm seeing for it are from Deans Cards, who from what I've seen from other posts, charges a good amount in terms of a markup. Could anyone maybe ballpark a price for a decent looking (Maybe a PSA 2 or 3) one? At this point it's looking like either a Berk Ross or a 52 Bowman. The 52 Topps is just a little out of my price range at the moment.

Picked up this Mantle recently. It crossed at PSA as a 1 which is what I expected. The color and eye appeal is sharp! No creases.

Beautiful pickup! I have a real case of envy going on over here!

Congrats Ankur. A holy grail for sure. Well done.
This pales in comparison. A 1968 American Oil. I had to do some research to even find out what it was!

Very nice. As someone that mostly has PSA 1s in my collection, I really appreciate some quality low grade Mantles. Your look fantastic - deserving of the grade but not completely abused, just how old, previously loved cards should be.

Thanks! It’s amazing the range of eye appeal a PSA 1 can have. I’ve taken time to find decent looking examples.

I guess this is a rightful place to put an extremely tough to find oddball Mantle. 1967 Laughlin World Series card with the address on back...

Attachment 401052

Not as cool as the 59 Bazooka, but pretty cool.

Nice Larry! What is that from? (I'm too lazy to look it up.)

Great pickup Darren in nice condition.

Pretty cool indeed! Nice grade from PSA, but I can't tell from the picture whether all the lines are visible. I've seen too many Bazooka cards with numeric grades (both PSA and SGC) where the card has been cut inside the lines. According to their guidelines, those should only get an "A".

Yep, you can see them all on this one.

Thanks Larry. I guess I'll have to add this to my want list. My seemingly never ending want list.

Great! I do have a 66/67 Bazooka Mantle that is a PSA 5. Yet it is cut inside the lines. Should only be an "A". Glad yours is a true 9. A beautiful card indeed!

Meant to drop this in here a few days ago, and forgot about it for some reason.
This is probably the first place I should have placed it.

This is more of an "accumulation" of small pickups over time, and here is the end result.

Just realized I never responded. It’s a 1–centered but not the best eye appeal.

Country Cookin postcard pickup. Does anyone else have one that isn’t postmarked?

Ben

I only have one of the two (the kneeling version), and it is not postmarked—I’d prefer a postmarked version to be honest, but it’s pretty clean (PSA 4).

Did you just get both?
