Stories with the big cards

I had a T206 Plank, and to make sure it kept its value I bought ten more and destroyed them.

I also had a 1952T Mantle and, just for fun, resubmitted it to PSA 5,000 times until it received every grade 1 through 10.

Many years ago I hear and saw a great 1952 Mantle story from old-time dealer John England in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.

A lady had called in response to one of his "want to buy" ads saying she was pretty sure she had the 1952 Mantle. He asked her to check the back to see if it was indeed number 311, "yes" was her reply and she drove over from a town in Oklahoma.

When she arrived she handed him a stack on 1952's with a rubber band in the middle. The Mantle was the front card and it had been bent almost in two right across the middle when she did as told and checked for the number on the back!

My ex brother-in-law used to work on the telephone helpline for Adobe and dealt with all sorts of computer clueless people. He asked a woman on speaker phone why it was so hard to hear her and she said because she went over to her windows as he told her to (he meant Microsoft Windows on her computer, she thought windows in her livingroom wall). Another customer mailed in a Xerox copy when he ask her to send a 'copy of her disk.'

Impressive. When I worked at a bank, lady came in about a fraud issue. She said she lost her debit card and people were withdrawing money from atm's all over. First thing I asked was if her pin number was safe etc. She said she wrote it in marker (sharpie) on her card.
