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

I get the feeling in terms of price this card is getting ready to pull away from the dock, so to speak. Nothing you haven’t seen a million times before, but I was particularly pleased with the centering on this one. This is a long awaited upgrade to my SGC A, which for sentimentality reasons I cannot bear to part with.

I am going through a box of misc. stuff I have accumulated over the years, and I have come across this Mickey Mantle YOO-HOO bottle cap. Is this a vintage bottle cap? What year is it from? I checked eBay, but didn't find a Mantle, and all the 1959 bottle caps I see for other players are of a different style in that YOO HOO appears above the player's head, rather than below the player's image. Many thanks in advance for any help with this bottle cap.

That seems to be 1958, the rarer yellow version.

My biggest regret to this day is not picking up a 56 Mantle PSA 4 that, imo, could have easily passed for a 5-6. The seller even held it for me for 2-3 months but I just couldn't commit due to the cost in U.S. funds back then as I was debated if I would be better off purchasing more 52 Topps cards.

Thank you sir!

Picked this up at the LCS yesterday. Again, nothing you haven't seen before - but for a raw card I'm very happy. Decent centering, 5-6 range corners, and most importantly fire engine red - and very clean print. Mick at age 27 looks slightly amused...
