Nice Hi-grade O-pee-chee 1966 Mantle

NFS/NFT

Picked up this beauty recently.

The DC comics hitting newsstands in April 1960 (generally cover dated June 1960) had this ad on their back covers:

Dormand 9 X 6 Postcard

Been a while since I`ve posted in the Mick thread. Had a couple of the 9 X 12's needed this tougher to find version. Not the best of condition but acceptable.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b05dc9d2_c.jpg 1953 9 X 6 Mantle Dormand postcard. Toughest of the 4 versions. by Hugh Murphy, on Flickr

My latest pick up

1962 Post Tens Varity Tray three card panel from under the tray holding 10 of the small individual serving cereal boxes. See a similar entire package from 1961 that sold recently at REA

I also recently got access to a group of about 60 different Post Cereal boxes and flats with both baseball and football cards that I will be posting here and elsewhere soon.

Nice card. I've heard some disdain before for the portrait shots, and particularly the 1962 and '63 Topps. For me, it comes down to whether or not I like the sets, because for a lot of them, those portrait shots were just de riguer...and I like both '62 and '63. To me the Mantles from both of those sets have always stood out as classics, probably just because I saw them pictured so often in magazines, Beckett, etc. as a kid. In fact, the Burt Randolph Sugar / Dover Reprint books you could get in the 80's - I think I got my first at an elementary school book fair - had a reprint of the '63 Mantle in it. Because it was probably the first real vintage Mantle card I laid eyes on - I immediately wanted it.

Nice pickups guys! Mike, I see you got your Hospital PC - Congrats!

I picked up a couple of cheap Holiday Inn coasters and never knew there were variants other than batting left and right and brown/green. Curious if anyone knows of others. The material makeup is even different.
