Show A Card You've Owned For 30+ Years

[joshuanip]

[QUOTE=JeremyW;1877940]I'm guessing that you submitted that one yourself? If so, were you happy or disappointed

I don’t remember. I think I got it graded already. Was a birthday gift from my dad.

My father gave me these 52 Topps, plus another 145, some 35 years ago. I also have approx 30-40+ 71-72 OPC hockey cards and a smattering of others that I collected as a child that I still own to this day as well.

Hi Irv

I know we noted this some time ago in another thread....but, it still amazes me that both your Mantle and my Mantle appear to have a very similar scratch mark.

Would you mind reposting your Mantle next to mine, so we can compare them ?
