My 1st Mantle Card

bziddy · 10-14-2008, 10:56 AM

I picked this up at our LCS when I was 12 or 13. He had it in a binder for $3.50 and I really wanted a Mickey Mantle card (he wasn't included 7 times in every Topps set back then) so instead of getting 10 packs of new cards, I splurged and bought this. I'm amazed it is in decent shape still after how much I looked at my cards when I was that age.

Nice, I know for me the cards I still have from my youth are my favorites. Too bad shoeboxes and rubberbands were the way to go then for me. I wish I had a time machine to purchase some wax.

Tell me about it -- two of my most favorite cards look like the dog chewed them while they were in bicycle spokes...

66 Aaron and Koufax. Worth $120 and $100 in NM condition...so mine are probably 'worth' $20 together.
