1959 Home Run Derby Near Set
 

Hi all,

I am parting with a near set of 1959 Home Run Derby cards (everything pictured but the Mantle is for sale). Most of the PSA 1s received that grade as a result of a small pinhole. Some of the cards also have light staining. If you'd like a detailed description of the condition issues with any card, or to see a better picture, please let me know. I guarantee the authenticity of these cards (I got them graded myself) and your satisfaction. If for some reason you are not 100% satisfied, please return it for a full refund.

I've included pricing below (no fee; shipped) and tried to make sure they are fair for me and for the buyer. I will consider all reasonable offers though. An "I'll take it" by PM takes priority over an ongoing negotiation.

The grades and prices are as follows:

1959 Home Run Derby Hank Aaron (PSA 3)(sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Bob Allison (PSA 1) (sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Ernie Banks (PSA 3)($280)
1959 Home Run Derby Bob Cerv (PSA 1)($65)
1959 Home Run Derby Rocky Colavito (PSA 1)(sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Frank Robinson (PSA 1)(sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Gil Hodges (PSA 1)($90)
1959 Home Run Derby Al Kaline (PSA 2)($110) (light staining)
1959 Home Run Derby Ed Mathews (PSA 3)($355)
1959 Home Run Derby Harmon Killebrew (PSA 2)(sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Duke Snider (PSA 3)($250)
1959 Home Run Derby Ken Boyer (PSA 1) (sold pending payment)
1959 Home Run Derby Dick Stuart (PSA 1) (sold)
1959 Home Run Derby Wally Post (PSA 1) ($55)
1959 Home Run Derby Jim Lemon (PSA 1) ($55)
1959 Home Run Derby Gus Triandos (PSA 4) ($265)
1959 Home Run Derby Jackie Jensen (PSA 3) ($220)
1959 Home Run Derby Willie Mays (PSA 1MK) (small ink dot on back)(sold)

Is the Mantle available?

Also...price on the Aaron and Mays?

Thank you. I adjusted my listing to add prices. Unfortunately, the Mantle isn't for sale. That one has been added to the personal collection.

Posting some higher resolution pictures from before they were graded. For those that are interested, please feel free to message me and I will take close ups of any card you are interested in so you can see exactly what you are buying. Thanks.

Not to stray off topic, but this thread got me running over to youtube to watch some of the old Home Run Derby episodes. It's pretty fascinating seeing these superstars so young, polite and exuberant. Most stunning to me were Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, because these days they are known as such jaded SOB's. Watching them (and all of the other guys) exude so much charm and personality was really a treat.

And now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

Thank you for the comment. I've always wanted to sit down and watch it. Thank you also for everyone that purchased. I am going to leave these up on Net54 for a couple more days then migrate them over to eBay.

I'll also take this moment to put up a few duplicates and cards that just don't fit into my collection anymore.

The first is a 1964 Venezuelan Topps Mantle. Please note the edges are a bit uneven but the back is relatively clean. I have more pictures on eBay if you are interested. Asking $210.

The second is an unopened OPC Tattoo pack featuring the Mickey Mantle autoball tattoo. Asking $210.

Finally, I've got three 1959 Bazooka cards I'd like to part with (Mantle isn't for sale). I have not looked at the prices for these so please make an offer.

Chris,
I got card Mays card in mail

thanks

Thanks Pete. I cannot tell you how excited I was to come across this collection after searching so long for the Mantle. As much as I hate breaking up a set, it looks like most of these are going to good homes.

Final bump before moving these to eBay.
