As a relatively young collector, have some questions about this card, thank you in advance for your responses...
(1) How many copies of this card exist approx. i.e. how rare is it really?
(2) Was Mantle a "must-have" card when it was first released or just another promising rookie or worse?
(3) When did this card become "iconic"? i.e. when did it spike in value?
(4) During the late 50s-60s was this card hard to come by/high demand or did it just cost a "few extra bucks"?
(5) Do you think it will continue to go up in the future or will it flatline?
(6) Any stories from the early days (60s/70s) when you came across this card and did/did not pull the trigger and get one
