Carl, what a nice story. Thanks for sharing. Your wife must have good taste to recognize how drop dead gorgeous this Mickey Mantle card is. One of Topps's best of The Commerce Comet. Or, perhaps she saw the serious longing in your eyes as you looked at this card. Whatever, you depict a deep expression of love from the wife of a devoted collector and devoted husband. After all, you BOTH went to Cooperstown. That says something, too.

Thanks again for sharing. ---Brian Powell
