Thanks Brian. It's not a '62 Mantle Jello box, but it'll almost do.

Uh, correction. I was the craziest bidder, the 2nd highest was the crazier bidder, the 3rd highest was the crazy bidder. I definitely paid more than I wanted to pay, but it was one of those things I had to have. Now, as my wife constantly reminds me, I have to figure out what to do with it.

Thanks Mike. Congrats on the '49 Yearbook. That's a great early Mick to have.

Had been looking for a nicely centered 2-3 and came across this one on the 'bay. Was happy to bring it home.

Picked this up this summer. Might drop it off for grading when the National is in town. Creased but presents nicely.

I got this 1962 Topps Stamp Mickey Mantle yesterday at a LCS. It was one of a group of 22 stamps that included some other HOFers such as Ernie Banks, Early Wynn (x2), Eddie Mathews, Whitey Ford, Nellie Fox, and Hoyt Wilhelm.


Price for the group of 22 1962 Topps Stamps? $1


So, yes a 1962 Topps Stamp Mantle for 5 cents!

I bought these two at the flea market. I can't recall ever seeing Diet Rite baseball crowns before.

Nice bottle caps Walt. Especially the diet Rite Cola. Not sure if I ever saw one of those before.

Love seeing all the Mantle stuff especially all the things I didn't know existed such as the bottle caps.

Just arrived today. Had an ashtray I sold about 15 years ago and haven't seen many since. Glad to replace it and picked up a bar of soap I've never had

1951

Saw this on the last day of auction and thought was pretty cool because of the newspaper article.
Mantle, 17 years old, and his Whiz Kids played against Parsons where I'm originally from. June 2 1949 and might be my earliest Mantle piece.

From collection of Steven Lane who looks to have written a pretty good Mantle book entitled "Mickey Mantle A Life in Memorabilia"

[ullmandds]

not a new pickup...and I'm sure it's in this thread somewhere!!!! But after being told by numerous advanced collectors, this was fake... VINDICATION!!!!! I had another I sold at the natty and I ran into a guy who saw this one in my showcase and said he had one and that SGC graded it...I was shocked!!!!!! A cool, unusual HI variation.

Nice card Pete.
