Default I didn't pull it but, Rookie Mantle

Shortly before Mickey Mantle died i went to a show near Houston where he was signing. That tells how long ago this was, about 1994. An older man, about 70 yrs old, was in line and not too talkative. Finally got him to start talking, he was going to have a Mantle card autographed and ask if it would make the card more valuable. I said, depends on the card and he ask if a rookie card would be more valuable. I said, hell no. And explained why. I ask him, do you have one. He said that his mother was still alive and had called him to ask if he still wanted his old BB cards. They were still in the closet. He picked them up and read about the Mantle show and was going to get an autographed. I ask, you found a Mantle rookie card in the box. He said he had 7 of them as well as Ted Williams rookies and others. Sounds unbelievable but i saw them. Never forget it.
