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

Interesting Mike… it is so tough to accurately checklist all of his oddball items.

Fred, this is what Steven sent me:
“The $1.00 "Special 11x17 of Maris & Mantle facing each other" is listed in a 1963 order form as such, and pictured in a 1964-'65 catalog. I've seen the 11x17 you have but not in a catalog, so I can't say what year your 11x17 was first issued.

The "8x10" photos were issued in an odd size in 1965, 9" x 11" as evident by a couple of sets that have surfaced dated by the players that are in the set. The Mickey Mantle Swinging I believe were issued a number of years measuring 8x10, from 1961-1964, but the 9x11, was issued in 1965.”

I don’t have the 9x11, so another something I will “need”.

By chance did anyone else see the cupola from the Joplin hotel for sale on eBay? Pretty wild

Vary interesting. So, there's an 11x17 of "Maris & Mantle facing each other" that is not the one we have? If so, I guess that's another one to add to the wantlist along with the 9x11 version.

Yeah, I saw the cupola listing on eBay. Only $999,999 (or best offer) plus $20,000 shipping. You getting it?

Thanks Ben. Now it’s going to take me an hour to go through my collection to see how many 1962 Topps I have and whether I have both versions….

Nice pickup Mike! Take a swig of that!!!
So you have all three Yoo-Hoo caps now right? Just need the full bottles of the other two now

[Bestdj777]

Not sure what to say about that Mike. Great pickup but that YooHoo didn’t age all that well

Hey Ben, unfortunately I still need one of the bottle caps, the variant of the one on the bottle. That, plus the two other bottles.
