    One of the best centered 57's I've seen. Way to go!

    Sound advice Steve - wish I could say all my Mick's have great centering, though my '65 is off, like 60-40. Same with my '57, that one is a bear to find nicely centered! 1420sports, yours you just posted is a beaut!

    I would say my 53, 56, 58, 62, 63 and 66 are all nicely centered though. The '65 really doesn't stand out as "off" until compared next to those. Live and learn!

    Thanks fellas. It is one of my favorite cards in my collection.

    Also, love the airbrushed "ghost" on the '57 Mick.
  • originalisbestoriginalisbest Posts: 5,971 ✭✭✭✭
    brumbach, very nice - what a one-of-a-kind great card to have had signed, circa the '50s! Beautiful. That's a keeper.

    One. The Mick autographed it at a McDonalds in the early 80s during some type of promotion. I got a couple of his autographs...and it was absolutely free!

    Not a bad one to have! Actually that '57's a tough one to have had to sign, with a dark pen - looks like he did it about the only possible place! Cool card.

    I have one....a 1957 Topps #95. I won this from Topps in their sweepstakes I think in 1997.
  • TNP777TNP777 Posts: 5,710 ✭✭✭
    Assuming that last year's glut of Mantles put out by Topps doesn't count, I've got five:
    1957 Topps #95
    1957 Topps #407
    1965 Topps Embossed
    1965 Topps #5 AL RBI Leaders
    1966 #50

    Nice 52!

    This is the only one I have at the moment. It is authentic according to the very trustworthy local man that I bought it from and from PSA/DNA Quick Opinion. I just got it this week. It is going to PSA/DNA shortly for encapsulation.

    Super cards everyone! Love the '52 (must keep convincing myself my reprint will do!) and the Venezuelan '59, not to mention the handcut Bazookas... great stuff.
  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,476 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hi
    I just wanted to show some more "oddball" Mantle cards - this one is not mainstream since it comes from a Mantle board game.

    As far as vintage goes, just one. A 1969 Topps checklist with Mantle's face on it. Got it for 10 cents, since it was in pretty poor shape. Would probably get a PSA 1 MK if I got it graded.

    I'd rather have Willie Mays cards anyways. image

    I own a 1961? Post card, 1968 Topps superstar card and a 1960 graded cello pack with Mantle/Boyer on top
  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,476 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Another more unusual Mantle - this is a display card that would be inside the glass door of an exhibit card vending machine.

    Unfortunately, I didn't make a file copy before I had it framed - so the glass is affecting the scan and I can't fit the entire thing on the scanner.

    And also - this is the item I showed when I started this thread over a zillion posts ago! image

    Sometimes ya might want mom TO throw out your cards.

    This one came in a box from my mom - it was in the garage - I'm not sure who it belongs to - I believe it's my brother's card.

    It's well loved and admired by everyone who touched it - since we carried our cards in our ass pocket back then...

    This card was well loved by someone's ass. image

    Although I am not interested in collecting Mantle. I guess in a way, Darth Vader cards are like "mantle" cards to me.
    My sets:
    1977 Topps Star Wars - "Space Swashbucklers"
  • Like many here, I dream of owning Mickey Mantle cards. But with two kids at home and other hobbies (not to mention that I did not grow up in the era), I got what I consider the next best thing.

    I got the whole 1996 Finest reprint set (1951 Bowman - 1969 Topps) in graded codition by either PSA or BGS. I completed it about three years ago and it took me about 2.5 years to complete.

    The only other card I have is his 1961 Topps 565 foot homer card graded SGC 8x. Forgot exactly what it was.

    Very nice fiveniner! Sweet Bowman rookie - mine will one day have to come with less sharp corners, but I hope for nice centering such as on your example.
  • frankhardyfrankhardy Posts: 8,168 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Fiveninner,

    (yes I'm yelling) WHY ISN'T THAT 51 BOWMAN IN A PSA HOLDER????????????

    Sorry. Just wondering. Nice card.

    Shoot, forgot to mention the one other Mantle I have that I'm not selling.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
  • This is a great thread... gotta love The Mick! I have about 18 Mantles, including LL and Combo cards, but sadly have none from the 50s (too darn expensive!). Here are a few that I am proud to own...

    I didn't see anyone post this one - well I did - I showed a family "beater" but here's one I just located when I was going thru my 63F BB set.

    It's not terribly expensive but I like it.
