[Seven]

I've talked about this story before on the board, it's my 1968 Topps Mickey Mantle. It was my first, vintage card, that I received around the age of nine. I had to have a surgery performed, and I just started getting into card collecting. My father would regale me with stories of Mickey Mantle, from his childhood. When the surgery was completed, he took me to a local card store, that sold vintage cards. It immediately caught my eye, and he purchased it for me. It set me down the long path I'm currently on, as I will collect for life. I couldn't possibly thing of selling it. It's too precious to me.
