My main line of collecting now is my Topps type run, which covers all sports and non-sports they issued at retail through 1980, and certain NS Topps sets featuring the more well known comic and underground artists of the 60's and early 70's. I've pretty much stopped collecting full sports sets and have been winnowing them a bit the last couple of years. I also collect Topps corporate items to an extent.

Larry, while I cannot help you on the Yoo Yoo Chocolate Drink cards, I do have a sincere question for you, bro.

Would you please enlighten me about the heritage or history of the ultra rare 1959 Mickey Mantle Yoo Hoo card, found with and without a half-inch thick white strip at the bottom of the card? Presumably, the white strip was meant for Mick to autograph it, or so I interpreted the space.....

Hope you can, and are willing, to divulge what you know.

Have a good evening. ---Brian Powell

Larry, when Brigandi Coin Company of metro NYC decided in about 1987-88 they wanted to enter the fray and sell vintage baseball cards, they took out a full-page advertisement in Baseball Cards Magazine. Glowing as a beacon in the middle of the ad was a 1959 Yoo-Yoo Chocolate Drink Mickey Mantle, with the white strip. I remember it as if it was yesterday. They wanted $2,000 - $2,500, though here I am not clear in my mind. I do recall it was at least 2K, in an era when 2K purchased a gold medal card. The stated condition was Nr Mt / Mt.

That's quite an extraordinary Mick to roll out the red carpet for your coin company to be taken seriously as also a purveyor of choice baseball cards.

Naturally, I was disappointed you did not know the heritage of the white strip. Regardless, thanks for responding, bro.

Best regards, Brian Powell
