I think I still have it, though was able to buy the complete set several years later, or at least as complete as it was known in 1973, and in so doing upgraded the first Mantle I got. I never tire of looking at that gorgeous coin. Nice picture of our Mr. Mantle. Thanks again for sharing your joy, David. Happy collecting, bro. --- Brian Powell

Brian, it's great when something you post gets such a nice reaction. I'm glad it brought back such great memories for you! I've had the 1963 Salada Mantle for years but had always needed the 1963 version for completion. When it popped up on the B/S/T board, I didn't hesitate to grab it.
