Paul SI distinctly remember pulling a '60 Topps Mantle from a pack as a kid -- my favorite player -- so in that sense it is quite beloved, even if it hardly my favorite card. However, later in that same decade I got my first pre-war, the Cobb T206 bat on -- I'd already read alot of early baseball history by that point. I put in on our fireplace mantle (no pun). I couldn't believe I would ever be "allowed" to own such a thing. The feeling was incredible. A real connection there. This is that same one.
