The official Mickey Mantle Pickup Thread. All Mick, all the time!

That Mantle rookie looks better than MANY sixes and sevens. Centered and registered. Savvy pickup, sir.

Yep, that's a really nice card!

I'm getting dizzy from that autographed 52 mantle. Insane card Bob! Leon that rookie is so fresh and so clean.

[Rookiemonster]

Not is the race for the nicest card in this thread. But this is a card I've wanted for a long time.

IT's the club to be in these days!!!! Funny Of all the Cobbs, Ruths I've owned and/or currently own...my last 2 mantle acquisitions put one of the biggest smiles on my face of any of them.

The 51B and 52T are recent additions. I've always felt the 51B was very underappreciated.

sheesh!

Funny how you say that...I been wanting to upgrade my 51 RC...but I decided the PRE-WAR route and stuck to it, it seems for now, unless for some odd reason Leon wants to departs that 51 Mays??? That would make me a happy camper

@Bob: Your just killing it bro!!!!
others: Keep up those great additions, even tho I am not partaking, I enjoy others having all the fun

That statement is actually very telling. Remember 80-90s stock guru, Peter Lynch's strategy.... Buy companies that make you happy.
I too get silly when I get a Mantle.
