I sold the nicest of these two very scarce 1953-54 Briggs Meats cards of Mickey Mantle to fund purchases from Heritage's auction of Leon's fantastic collection back in 2015. An example of this Mantle card sold fairly recently for about 4-5 times what I sold mine for. Yes, the cards I got from Leon's collection have increased in value since 2015, but nothing like Mantle's cards.
The 1955 Topps Clemente and the 1956 Topps Mantle cards are cards I pulled from 5-cent wax packs when I was a kid.
