I hadn't heard there were two versions of the Mantle, and after looking at the picture I admit i don't see the difference. Can you describe what the difference is that I should look for?

For the 1964 Topps Giants Mantle and other cropping variations, check out my 'discovery' thread from a few years back...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Geez, was that thread 4 years ago. Ok, I bought mine 4 (the PSA 8 because of your thread) to 5 (the PSA 6 for my Mantle collection) years ago, not 2 to 3 as I stated earlier. Time is going by too fast.

Look at the baseball with Mantle's name.

Reminds me of the joke my dad used to tell: "My friend was buying a bushel of corn for $3 each, putting it in a dollar basket, and using a dollar's worth of gas to get it to the market where he sold it for $4. I asked him how he was going to make any money doing that; he said "I'll make it up in volume!" "

I’m jealous of whoever got these. I definitely think these went to a collector rather than someone looking to split things up. The price still seems a bit crazy though.

Chris---if someone is strictly a collector with no intent to sell them why would he want 891 of them ?
