What happened to him, he used to reside on ebay, was he sold? Here is the seller's original listing and description:

1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 The Legendary Bearded Mantle

52 Topps Mickey Mantle 1/1 The Legendary Bearded mantle. Up for consideration it a true 1/1 1952 topps Mickey Mantle. This card is one of the most famous Mantles ever! Psa has determined the card is authentic and within the case is an original Mantle whos beard cannot be ignored.

Im told this card was likely flipped back in the day. He went to war and came back with quite an impressive beard. So if your a fan of the beard or looking for a one of a kind gift for the beard in your life this card should be given serious consideration. It may even have promotional potential as Mantles epic beard will get a reaction from all who see it because as stated above you cannot look away!!!

His address used to be ebay, I went to his door and knocked but no one answered, I peeped in the window and all of his furniture is gone.

This thread wouldn't be right without an appearance from Fitzy, just direct your attention between the two red arrows, I've selected a card with good beardage.

.....
I am going to ask a question which I am sure has been asked before by many,and possibly the answer is obvious, or perhaps not.... Is it possible that Harden is playing the 'long game' with his beard, with the intention of somehow finding sporadic anonymity when his career is done?

Edited to add: maybe instead of the long game, I mean the long con. Either way, hope that makes sense to atleast one of you in

quite possible. its not unheard of. several folks in the music industry have and or employ such tactics. sia and the gorillaz off the top of my head.
