February Pickups

It's been awhile since one of these showed up, and this one looks like it's been through a war, but it's now time to update the avatar

This Hafey is sort of lower grade, but still grades higher than the cancelled one I used to own...

Also, an update on my botched attempt to buy baseball cards on liveauctioneers.. Stanton Auctions apologized for offering the fake King Kelly and Julie Freeman cabinets and sent me a full refund. Thanks again to the board members who helped me save $450.

I have been collecting the M113 & M114 supplements for many years, and as of today have accumulated 765 different ones, but up until last month, I had never seen an example of a Mickey Mantle.

In the most recent Henry Yee auction, he had some printing plates matched with examples of their supplements, but his Mantle printing plate did not come with a supplement, so I took this as proof that they exist, but also proof that they are hard to come by.

So, when one popped up on ebay at the end of January, with that classic shot of him batting righty, I was very happy to make it my own, even if his name is spelled wrong at the bottom.

Imagine my surprise when less than two weeks later, a second Mantle appeared on ebay, this one the classic lefty batting pose, with the added bonus of his original #6 visible. I also was happy to give it a new home.

Yes, from the underbidder. If I can find out who was the second highest underbidder, there will be more

I'm even a sore winner
