1959 Mantle - Probably Not the Proper Place

All,

A bit ago, I saw a post asking people what Mantle cards they own and to proudly display them. I understand I probably should put this over in the Sale/Trade area, but it's not really my intention. I have a pretty well worn 1959 Mantle that I picked up years ago for a quarter that is just sitting in my cabinet and not really doing anything for me. I would feel bad putting it up on a certain site and wanted to turn to you lot and see if anybody could use it to add to their personal collection.

A fair offer will not be turned down (don't know what the going price would be) and I would ideally like someone to have it that just would like one or needs it to complete a collection regardless of its shape. I'm making it sound like it's a '52 or something and I don't mean to, but it sounds like Mantles have a certain appeal to them.

I kind of learned how to post pictures, but bear with me to see if this works:

Back

That big crease that runs from the "e" in Mickey on down is not a tear, just a good crease.

Once again, if this is inappropriate for this section, please forgive me and I'll delete it or if nobody is interested (I really don't want to get into the selling of this because somebody may think they are getting something they aren't).

    Thats very nice of you Kurt. I am lucky enough to own a few Mantles so I wont be greedy and make an offer. Thats a pretty nice buy you got for a quarter.

    Come on guys,..Mickey needs a home! image
  • I am currently working on the '59 topps set and the mantle would be a GREAT addition (in fact, the #1 on my list)... I do not know what to offer you for your card. How does 60 dollars sound? Let me know if you still have it.

    Thanks!

    (oh yeah, if you could email me a response to ryandistelrath@gmail.com I would appreciate it)

    Take care!

    Nothing wrong with your offer but I don't understand why the B/S/T board would be a problem? No one's going to think they're getting something they aren't with your clear photos. Conversely, it might seem like you're trying to avoid the "clutter/noise" of other offerings on the B/S/T board, thereby making your offering stand out more. I would just ask to have this thread moved there.

    Fair enough. Can somebody please let me know how to delete this?

    I wouldn't say YOU need to delete. Leave the thread be. It's a nice card and a nice gesture, if it needs to be moved or deleted, the mods can do it. image
  • I would be curious how much that card would sell for. Sure, its beaten up, but its still a Mantle.

    I'd quickly pay up to $30 for that card. Anyone want to bet the over/under on that?
