I wish I had the funds for those Mantles when they came up. The prices they brought were insane.

[sflayank]

Yes they were

I am just glad i finally saw a 1953 B&W Yamakatsu Mickey Mantle card up in auction.
I had to tell Bestdj77 about it to share the find and let him take a stab at it, which he had done already. I was more enjoyed seeing it perhaps finding a home with CHris, but he failed to obtain it. But in the end, atleast i got to see one of those. i was holy cow, this could go under the radar, but it did not. B&L auctions

I have seen photos, but I really want to see a 63' Mantle Mask in person.

The pictures never seem to due them justice due to being so hard to photo or scan.

The other card I know exists and is one of my Holy Grail pieces as I have seen one come to auction in 12 years is the 90' Donruss Aquaous Lance Parrish (he was my childhood idol) . To 99% percent of collectors, not important. To the 4 Lance Parrish serious player collectors (I am constantly competing with them on ebay) that junk wax gem will likely hit 600+ at auction.

Thanks Chris. I almost had that one but hopefully will get it next time it pops up! Or if there is ever a low grade on to hit the market, which I have to imagine is out there somewhere. I love these oddball cards.

Larry, given your want list I could only imagine how awesome your actual collection is. I hope you get them all one day and know I've been on the look out for the Armour coins you need.

I'd like to see the offer for the plaque myself. Never been found on the 63 Topps packs so not sure of the idea it's a Topps product.

Larry has a better one with the tab, but here is mine. I tend to doubt it is actually a Topps product because as Dave points out, no one has produced the wrapper offering it. Other hobby legend is that it may have been a cereal offering, but no one says what cereal. I bought mine because it is still listed by most as a Topps item
