They may be about the Mantle, but they couldn't tell you the difference between Phil Rizzuto and Addie Joss. I simply don't adhere to the younger Generation wants newer cards theory. There is a certain mythology about certain Pre-War sets that makes them almost magical.

Fine, spell buzz.

my dad saw Mantle play at old Comiskey Park. I'd take a 52 Mantle over a wagner too, if we are voting.

My dad could have given a flying flip about Mantle or Wagner. He was too busy riding bucking horses and chasing steers. Good for you being able to tell the difference. You are an exception to the norm. Its just my opinion and you are free to collect what ever your daddy got to see if you want.

Nobody on alive today seen Wagner play so I really don't get the reference.

So, getting back to the auction... there are a few different previously uncataloged Louisiana issues which has me pretty excited. I love how cards still pop up all these years later.

Oh and my dad is a mechanic and a big Yankees fan (he is originally from NY). He never saw Honus play but I'm pretty sure he could beat up your dad.

No interest in any Mantle cards. None.

And the market for his card is very simple. He was the hero to a lot of men who are now in their 50s and older with scads of disposable income. Academy award hosts, bankers, captains in industry. This card is their childhood. And is also appears to be a hell of an investment
