Congrats Phil. Great write up. It really is such a tough card to find with all those qualities you mentioned. Now enjoy that victory lap and snicker at the past events that kept that card from you. After all, "It's iconic you know!"

Except every time I went into that shop armed with my hard earned war chest to make an offer the price seemed to have gone up just a little higher. “Sorry Kid, I’m gonna need a little more for that card, "It's Iconic you know".
Dealer sounds like kind of a dick. Glad you finally got the last laugh!

According to Paul Simon, he was writing about Mantle, HIS hero, but it didn't work as a song.

This song, meant to be about DiMaggio, is a classic.

Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

[QUOTE=Peter_Spaeth;2051192]According to Paul Simon, he was writing about Mantle, HIS hero, but it didn't work as a song.[QUOTE]

"Where have you gone, Mickey Mantle" wouldn't quite work, because not only was he still an active ballplayer when the song was written, but his last name just doesn't jingle-jangle along like 'DiMaggio'. Perhaps if his last name were instead 'Mantilo'. As in "Where have you gone, Mickey Mantilo"
