Post your Mickey Mantle cards..... raw or graded......

I'll kick it off with my latest acquisition from late last night from the Topps '68 issue. He is likely the closest thing to a "gold standard" of any player in the hobby....

Can't go wrong with any Mick...

Some Mickey’s from off the beaten path...

Thank you!

Love that '68 MINT blazer!

The '56 is always a favorite of mine. Best looking "1" I've seen. Love those high appeal low technical grade cards.

My version of high appeal low technical. Love this card.

How can it be I love most of the multi-player Leaders cards (sorry, can't get into floating heads) and despise the multi-player rookie cards?

Treated myself to this earlier in 2019. Lower grade but a 53 I keep reminding myself.

Probably my favorite in my collection. The only PSA/DNA signed box poster with a 10 auto and the highest graded of all box cut outs.

Monte - last time I saw that many 8.5’s was back in high school at the homecoming dance 😂 Awesome run of Mantles there my friend. 8.5 is my favorite grade by far.

Nice
The 61 looks like it could be seen in a 9 case. Awesome!!!

That’s some high school!

Looks better than a 1. Can’t find a pinhole.

Images of The Mick are always great to look at. Two of my favorites:

On it's way to me back from PSA/DNA authentication.

Some of these “Low Grade” cards are absolutely gorgeous! Outstanding job guys finding these diamonds in the rough 👍

DM23HOF · October 18, 2019 5:44AM

Here is another low grade "junker" for the pile Looked so nice I finally cracked it a ways back— and it came back even lower grade LOL. It's a 2 now. Gonna shoot for a 1 next dice roll. Funniest part is I've owned a 7, 6, and a few 4s and 5s over the years, and after sitting beside that 2 in my display they have all gotten sold because they just don't look as good front vs. front in person. Says a lot about the card game.

UFFDAH · October 18, 2019 7:16AM

A colorful Mick

mexpo75 · October 18, 2019 8:39AM

I love the centering on this one of mine.

psychump · October 18, 2019 8:57AM

Early flip

How is this a 2? Paper loss, pinhole, etc?

What does it say about the card game? To me all it says is that centering is your primary (only?) priority. But I would rather have a structurally perfect PSA 8 that is 65/35. So to me, what it says is that there is a card for everyone!
