Thanks, guys, for the comments on the '51B. No creases and, yep, the stain on the back brought it down to the G grade.
Those do look much better, irv. Nice pair! That signed duo looks amazing, Bob! That '64 Venezuelan is a great card, Matt. |
CW, your 1951 Mantle Rookie just simply LOOKS better than 99% of them. :cool:
Yes including sevens, sixes, and fives. What an AWESOME and unique card you have there. |
Great Rawlings Premium Paul :)

Some really nice Mantles shown guys. I'm not much into autographs, but the '51 Bowman and '52 Topps autographed cards are sure nice. |

Got any stock tips? |

I don't know how wise it would be to follow my stock tips: 'Instead of re-investing your dividends, use them to purchase cardboard.' I will say that Mantles appear to hold their value more than many stocks. . |

Here is my Mint 55 Bowman. I would call it Gem Mint except for the barely noticeable speck of paper loss on the back.:D

I have always seen the Phillies Cigar Mantle referred to as a 1961 issue. Is that wrong? You say 1963.

Phillies Cigars
I looked at both of my boxes--the advertisement for the gloves/photos is on the back of each of these--but unfortunately no dates are present anywhere on them.

It's a much sharper card in real life, but this is a lousy scanner. Attachment 231731

They are much whiter in hand but I can't figure out how to get them to look better? Not a card but a pic of my Uncle Sam with Mickey Mantle at a 1958 World Series game. (For those that haven't seen it?) |

My understanding is that this was a 1963-64 issue. http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ntlePrem25.jpg............ 6 1/2" x 9" glossy photo http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...lovePixADV.jpg TED Z . |

The Standard Catalog lists it as 1961 for what it may be worth. https://books.google.com/books?id=WS...atalog&f=false |

Thanks for the kind words though. As the 'ole sales-saying goes, it's nice for the grade. FYI, would love to have an even nicer one but they are getting way out there nowadays. Quote:

That's a great pickup. Amazing centering!

Nice pickup Leon and congrats to all amazing Mantle owners in this thread. Wish I still had my Hunters Mantle I bought from Verkman back in the day. Oh well. So, will the trend continue to go up to like Roger Maris, Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Cal Ripken, etc... OR down to Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Wajo, etc...?

Congrats Leon very nice card!

Leon, have you become a deserter? That (nice!) '52 mantle doesn't look like a pre-War card to me!! :D

Leon, she's a beauty. It presents well. Defintely you'll get everyone glancing at it when they walk by. Pat yourself on the back, you did well.
|
Leon- I'm glad you got one you like and could afford.
It's weird that I just bought another Ruth and another Wagner, but couldn't even consider trying for a '52T Mantle...something's wrong there. oh well.... . |
