This is literally one of the toughest career-contemporary
Mickey Mantle cards you can ever hope to find. It has taken me years to assemble the ones shown.
It is the
1967 Laughlin World Series #61 "With Address" version and you are more likely to find the
Ark of the Covenant before running across another one of these
(cool hyperbole, yes?). The later printings
(that did not include Mr. Laughlin's address on back) can be had here and there, but they are still very pricey and were printed long after
'The Mick' retired. They don't really count, except as reprints.
These are
tough, tough, tough (to infinity) gets that no one ever offers for trade. Never. Hit me up with any questions.
***UPDATE: Sorry, these Laughlins are no longer (unless it is an extreme exception) available for trade.***
