Mike...
 

Just out of curiosity, what does Mantle say about the importance of singles?

Andrew, in the context of Mantle being able to hit 60 homeruns, he tried to explain how hard that was and it was just as important to hit singles and take walks and not makes outs trying to hit all homeruns...although I've seen a few interviews where he said he tried to hit it as hard as he could every time!

Mark, thanks! This magazine's looking kinda lonely. Maybe you should send over that Mantle Sports Ill. :D

Dave,
Very nice! Looks like the check found a nice new home.

Mike,
You mean this one?

Funny thing. When I found this it still had the cardboard that we used to price it back in the late 80's/early 90's

Who wants to buy it for that amount?:D

I would gladly pay $75 for that. :D

Mark, I will be jumping in to my DeLorean, cranking it up to 88, and seeing you soon. Hoping you'll also have a Mantle ball if I throw in an additional $25. :D:D:D Hmmm, maybe I'll need to request an early Christmas gift from the wife!

I want to play. Here's my Mickey Mag. 1956 Sport.

C'mon you guys, stop trying to feed my addiction! :D

Packs,

That is one of the most beautiful Mantle mags I have seen.

Love it! Let me know if it you ever decide to sell...:D

Sorry
 

Mike,
I am sorry. I didn't mean to feed the beast.

James,
I would buy it for $75 as well!

Packs,
That is a nice one.

Last one as this is really the pick up thread and I don't want to clog it up.

$76

Mark, do you take Paypal? :)

Ryan,
For that price, I would think you would drive to my house and give me cash!

Ok, Deal!

Heck, for that price I might be willing to drive to your house and pay cash.

Mike,
That seems like a pretty long drive.
:D

Ray Schalk 1931 vintage signed album page
 

I just picked up this nice 1931 signed album page of HOF catching great Ray Schalk.

Ray Schalk played for the 1919 Black Sox, but he was was of the "Clean Sox" players. Schalk was unique in that he caught 3 no-hitters (including Charlie Robertson's perfect game) as well as an "unofficial" no-hitter. Pretty awesome early vintage signature of Mr. Schalk that I'm happy to add to my collection...
