Nice start!

Nice. Too bad you didn't get his "rookie card", the 52 Topps.

dapro · #5 08-09-2018, 08:31 PM

The 52 is too expensive...

He's joking, this one is his real rookie card.

Truth!

A sarcastic nod to just about every article and news report ever seen regarding the 52 Topps Mickey Mantle, almost always being reported as his rookie card.

Just curious about what appears to be whitish areas on the card reverse. Is that perhaps some artifact on the holder, or is it on the card itself?

Its the holder. It has a chip near the number 20.
