what upsets me about Mantles
I am a set collector, pure and simple. And in many sets I collect, 1950's-1960's, the Mantle cards are the most expensive. That alone is not the problem, as I am not pleading poverty. The problem is that I hate the Yankees (I come by that honestly as my dad was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan) and do not like Mickey Mantle. So, I am often left with having to pay more for a card of a player I do not like, on a team that I cannot stand, if I want to complete my sets. I am not looking for sympathy. I just wanted to express a small collecting frustration from a non-Mantle fan.
