I remember reading years ago that Alex Chilton, lead singer on the Boxtops’ 1967 mega hit “The Letter” (“gimme a ticket to an aeroplane, ain’t got time to take a fast train”) had bought a PSA 10 1951 Bowman Mantle Rookie card for $25,000. The article discussed how Chilton’s wife was skeptical at first but finally approved the purchase because she knew how much the card meant to him.

Chilton died in 2010.

Now, after spending too much time looking for it, I can’t find anything about Chilton and the card.

Does anyone else remember this story, or am I losing it?
