The official Mickey Mantle Pickup Thread. All Mick, all the time!
I think the King of Post War cards deserves his own pick up/ show off thread. Mantle cards are white hot and I want a place to go to see Mantles exclusively. Post them as you get them, or if you just want to show off...that's great too.
I'll start the thread with this beauty which arrived today.53 is the next 52. 53 mantle largest.jpg Last edited by Leon; 05-10-2016 at 08:29 PM. |

Just picked this one up for an upgrade on my 62 set...absolutely stole it and was shocked I won. I even had room in my cheap bid. Pays to be a night owl, and I am amazed that anyone would end their auctions at such odd times...
Also picked up another 61...another set upgrade...

Because seven topics about Mantle on the front page wasn't enough.

Twenty plus years ago this beauty was in the showcase of a since closed up shop here in Jacksonville. Cost me $30 and a 1988 Score baseball factory set. Larry

Finally got Mick out of the cube he had been in for over 25 yrs.
Pics/scans look much better now imo. (sorry about the Mays, I didn't think to take singles when I freed them both from their cubes)

1964-66 Rawlings Premium Photos
You guys make me wistful - so many Mantles I don't own anymore. Here's one that hasn't been shown yet...pardon the water damage, adds "character". (went to another board member recently but I don't think he'd mind me posting it).

I wondered when the Dice Game Mantle would make an appearance. Thought you were holding out, Bob.
And major CONGRATS, Leon! Nice eye appeal on that one. |

Not a Dice Game, but a "slightly" less valuable/rare Topps game card:

Chris, why doesn't the 68 game card have rounded corners? Is yours a proof?

I've seen them referred to as proofs--and I think one of the major grading companies slabs them proofs--but my thought has always been that someone just cut down a previously uncut sheet to make this.

I'm always on the lookout for extra Mantle cards. And I don't care what they look like if the price is right. Recent pick-ups:
1953 Bowman color #44 the Standard Catalog says the NM "value" is $775 I paid $15 or 1.9% book. 1957 Topps #407 the Standard Catalog says the NM "value" $465 this card cost me $14 or 3% book. Larry

Finally snagged the Topps Super. This one is a psa 5. Most of the Supers come in ultra high grades, but I was happy to find a more affordable mid-grade to scratch off the list.

I dearly love this card of Mick, ever since the first time I saw it. Whilst going through the set, I glimpsed the Mantle, and bought the set on the spot. It was July of 1972, at the Midwest Sports Collectors Convention in Troy, Michigan. I bought it from Bill Haber, a kind man who worked at Topps, and drew their cartoon artwork on the backsides. He'd brought a black satchel along with him, full of papers, letters, what have you, and about a dozen brand new gleaming mint sets of the '69 Topps Supers, I suppose to help fund his journey to Michigan from New York, as well as a few card purchases. That set was worth every penny. Extra nice pick-up, Orlando. Nothing jumps out to me in a bad way about your fine card. The colors and picture registry are flawless. By the by, isn't it nice that you rarely have to be concerned with centering defects on these '69 Topps Supers! Anyway, congratulations, bro. ---Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 07-02-2017 at 09:31 PM. |

Well-named card , huh ?
....When I picked this up many years ago I didn't know much about sixties cards , still don't actually , but the first time I saw this I actually at first thought it was a Bob Lemke fantasy card , one of those beautiful center-page-binding stiff stock inserts , and his connections to Sports Collectors Digest magazine and the grading company that they had had 'way back then at that time just re-inforced my thought process . Managers' Dream indeed. They could just as well have named it "pitchers' nightmare". ... Hi Bob , hope all is well... .. |

My original Mantle
I traded for this Mantle back in 1970. The owner was an older kid down the street, a teenager, but I don't remember his name. Rounded corners? Off center? Creases? Meh! It didn't matter then, and it doesn't now.

Great card and story. Reminds me of me, except I don't have any childhood cards left.

The signed Mantle run is probably the most jaw dropping collection I have ever seen. How do you display them?
Did I miss a 1952 signed one or do you have it? |
