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

Picked this up at the Raleigh show last weekend. Wasn't looking for one, but it's hard to pass up a centered Mantle, especially when it's a 2 that looks like a 4.5.

The most centered 1965 I have been able to find in the past 6 months within my budget. Also the last 1960s Mantle I need for my run. Still have 1951-1954 to acquire

Picked this up from a fellow Net54er a few months ago, thanks Fred!

It was cut from an advertisement display for Dan-Dee. It has Mantle on one side and Rosen on the other.

Picked up the Rawlings shoe tag a few months ago. Thought I'd post it along with 3 Rawlings glove tags.

Those Rawlings tags are great! Did any other players endorse shoes ? I collect Brooks Robinson … did he have a shoe or glove tag like those ?
Thanks Scott

I don't know about Brooks. I only collect Mickey and Brooks doesn't come up in my searches. But, I would not be surprised if there are any. If they did it for Mick, why not for the other athletes that had their own endorsed Rawlings glove? Keep looking and good luck!

I did a quick Google search and found one Brooks from the early '70s with Clemente.

Great pickups as always Mike!
