Jesse, always a pleasure to see that group of Mantles. The 53T is a very, very special card. That red corner is a 10, which is beyond uncommon.

I have shown these two favorites before, but I recently took this pic and just love how it came out, and how these two first Topps cards look side by side. I believe this photo should always brighten the day of any Mantle fan!

Beautiful cards!
I've always liked the Topps 53 Mantle as well. Just a great looking card, imo.

The auto on this card was too bold to say "no" to. And being on a key year Mantle just made it a no brainer. A friend picked it up for me at the National.

Love that signed '61! Saw it posted on Instagram and said to myself, "If I saw that, I woulda snapped it up." Strong eye appeal, well chosen.

The 2022 National was my first show in 6 years. I picked up 40 or so team set needs, including about 15 Mantles. Down to about 45 cards remaining. Hoping to work towards the 1953 or 1956 Mantle next.

First time posting within this thread. I've picked up a few Mantle cards throughout the years. This one is my favorite. I "overpaid" for it back in 2016. I'd buy a dozen more at that price these days.
