Chuck that Dan Dee Mantle 5 looks fantastic. Undergraded for sure.
Compare it w/ this 6 that i sold a few months ago. Congrats on the pickup.

Thanks, all, for posting those cool pickups.
Patrick -- impressive '57 Mays there, especially. Nice one! Bestdj777 -- really wish you had a scanner for those Mantles -- congrats on the engagement! ![]() Adam -- cool background story on that card. Were the numbers in the white circle supposed to be scratched off? Also, if players numbered 10 are the winners, as stated on the front, why does your card have an "11" in the white circle? Just curious. Nice find! Jay -- thanks, my friend! I looked closely and don't see any wrinkles or surface issues. I may crack and resubmit if I ever need to sell it, since all four edges have the perforations (ie. no risk of "evid of trim" coming back). Last edited by CW; 12-10-2014 at 09:59 PM. |

My best post war pick ups were these three Mantles. While they don't compare to your guy's higher grade beauties, they are wonderful to me.
Thanks, AndyH

Adam,
When you posted the pic of the Osteen in the other thread, I didn't realize you had actually picked it up too. I thought you just had a scan of it. Nice pick up man! Best, AndyH

That's what matters most, Andy. And I can definitely see the charm and beauty in a well-loved card like the Mantles you posted. One of my absolute favorite cards is a beater Fidrych rookie card. Good luck with your future Mantle pickups!

Andy, beautiful Mantles! To me, there is nothing nicer than a well loved Mantle card. My Mantle/Boyer looks like it was shoved into a set of bike spokes, and someone cut out the center circle of my 58 and glued it to a hat. Yours look gem mint compared to those. |

Thanks for the kind words about my Mantles guys! I really appreciate it. I can't get enough of them.
