Rob, but at least the thoughtful and considerate Mr. Drysdale selected the perfect place for his autograph on a 1958 Topps. Agree with Al all the way; the gent who selected a '58 to have Don sign was simply not the brightest crayon in the box. However, again, with Big D signing the yellow background, you have a genuine beauty. Nice pick-up.

Centered Mantle alert:



Picked it up today at a new card shop. No idea why it graded a "4", but I was more than happy to pay a "4" price for it!

Big thanks to MattyC for this Mantle rookie! Just received it in hand. Card presents so much better than the technical grade...

Great Mantle RC, Jerry! Congrats

I cannot even begin to say how excited I am to have just picked this up. I have been searching for this for years, and it is the last card I needed to consider my Mantle Topps run complete:



Many thanks to Chris (PawPaw) for helping me locate it and for the auction house for their exceptional customer service and ridiculously reasonable shipping costs.

Awesome card. I don't think I've seen a better PSA 2. Centering is better than more PSA 7s.

Thanks Jesse! I appreciate it. I have always wanted this card for the longest time. Prices on nice early mantles have been going up. I had to get one before it was too late.
