I have 13 1958 Mickey mantle�s with the error on back I�m wanting to buy or sell more

Ben north, I�m someone who�s obsessed with errors and populations of cards, if this mantle wasn�t so rare I�d only own a handful and would called it a day, like when I threw in the towel on the partial diamond there were just too many of them 30 on eBay at a time and new ones popping up everywhere yuck

I also want to thank you, I was about to spend $2000 on a 1958 blue hank Aaron years ago until I read everything you wrote about being faded I even bought a light and did some experimenting to warn other people�. I unfortunately lost 2 good cards friends over it because they had invested heavily in sun faded Aaron�s and didn�t want me warning other people, then it even came down to them saying well yes there are some that are faded but mine arnt faded and were printed like this in 1958 lol!!

I made a video on it https://youtu.be/GvSn3-2dRz0?si=y2-aevkMpcakks4z

I sold both of mine once they hit the $300 range. I thought they were cool but not 30X what I paid cool.

Same thing that is done with the �blue� 58 Aaron can be done with the white letters 1969 Mantle and that�s a known and accepted variation. I wonder how many of those white labels have been doctored and slabbed.

Surely many of them. The white letter Mantle can be a legitimate variation though whereas the blue Aarons are a concocted scam all of the time.

For me personally the most interesting thing about the defect on the back of the 58 Mantle is that it is related to similar back defects on cards 130,135, 142, 150, 183, 189, and 198. Finding them and seeing the relationships is a little tough but interesting. Cliff pulled them all together in one of the earlier threads. He may have others
