Do you believe there are any undervalued Mantle items?

It's pretty cool. And, if it is undervalued and you want to get rid of it, I'm always willing to take it off your hands . I've got roughly 400 unique Mantles at this point but haven't seen that one before. Thanks for sharing.

Chris,

Is your Mantle Master Set now 391 / 399 ?

Hey Lou, Chris just informed me it's now 392 / 399; he's added Brian's nifty, small portrait card of a very young Commerce Comet to his already vast holdings! Quite a nice score; perhaps he will offer up Stan The Man for a fair price and recoup a hunk of his original purchase.

First, however, it would be beneficial to everyone if somehow he was able to identify the source of these 2 black 'n white pearls. It would seem they were part of a product package for an item the two baseball stars were endorsing.

Be that as it may, the image of Mickey is unique; I don't recall ever seeing it.

Again, nice pick-up Chris. Also, if I may say so, a very impressive, swift Bengal Tiger kill on your part, my friend. You wasted not a second to pounce on this hunka Mantle meat!

Kudos, my friend. ---Brian Powell

Well that didn't take long did it Chris.

I am picking up lesser grade Mantle cards that I want now, because the inflation will seep down the grade spectrum like it has with the 1952 Mantle and to some extent the 1954 Aaron, and I am afraid I will be paying a lot more if I wait. I am already too late to pick up a 1952 Mantle on budget and I had to settle for an Aaron RC that is nice for the grade but a bit below where I'd have liked to be. I could buy a 52T or 51B if I wanted to liquidate a big chunk of my collection but I don't want to do that. Plus, I am getting the cards that look like the ones I had when I was a kid. I bought one of these in about this shape for $3.25 at a card club auction around 1978. Cost me a bit more this time.



This one is actually an upgrade from the one I had as kid but again, the one I had in 1978 cost me $2:



As for undervalued, my suggestion:

Nice Mantles, Adam. They sure are beauties. Yeah, there may be a trickle down effect on the values / listing price / prices paid for all period Mantles.

Though these do not concern you, the price for commemorative Mantles have also raised my eyebrows several times.
