Just picked up a PSA 4, but one day would love to have a nice centered NM example in my collection.

i agree with you Rob the 57 is beautifull.. look like the 53 bowman color for me... same design card... full picture of the player.. i love it.

I'm with John, it's the '56 for me.

the 52 Rc has to be mentioned here. its the true iconic piece.
But my favs are not cards, its more in the photos/exhibits
I let my bud (Bestdj777) have the 66 Mantle/portrait i had and i like the 60 post cereal i have (which i have for sale) The salmon/pink color is really unique.
Then theres the Dan-Dee potato chips, Berk Ross and the 54 Red-Heart and the Stahl-Meyer cards.

My favorite is the 1960 Topps card. I just love the color design.

'68....You know it's over, but the Mick on the card looks like he could play another 5 years.

The 1962 and 1965 Mantle cards have always captivated me.

I love his 1967 card. Great smile!

Someone already mentioned the '65. His WS card from that year is pretty cool, too...although it shows him missing a heater from Gibson.

And his 1959 All Star card is pretty sweet as well. Just a basic pose, but the way it's captured in a great design makes it very appealing.

I like the '53 and the '56.

For me it is the 1966 Mantle and I still have it. It was my first Mantle I got it as a little kid along with about 300 other cards. My older cousin that lived with us gave them to me not long before he died from a brain tumor.

The cards just sat in my top dresser drawer from the early 70's till my little brother got me into collecting in the mid/late 80's.
