Good day,

So I Bought my First Mantle......!!!!!


A 62 #18 PSA 6 from onebamafan, think I got a fair deal. I have been waiting for quite awhile to pull the trigger on the first one.

So now do I have to worry about having been bitten by the bug??? Does it end here, or am I doomed???

    Congrats Neil, it's a nice one to start on!

    Yes you're doomed. image

    Edited to add - they aren't always easy to pay for, but they're easy to find!!

    You should buy a second at an affordable price.. Like.. I dunno.. A 1959 Mickey Mantle #461 in a PSA 6 holder perhaps..

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Any other time I would Stown, but today is the day I have to figure how to pay the Piper, I won some stuff at Mastro last night and have spent way too much this week on E-Bay, like to the toon of 5-10 times more than normal.!!!!!

    EEEHHAH!!!image
