You can sell any Mantle. It's true.

thanks for the update I got my snipe on...

"Yep, I just bought me a well-centered '59 Mantle. That's how I roll."

ymarea · November 13, 2010 2:00AM

I really wanted that one, but I had to drop out at $6.35.

Garabaldi · November 13, 2010 2:04AM

I guess someone really wants to say that they own a Mantle card.

stevek · November 13, 2010 2:06AM

That card has been on a few bicycle spokes, no doubt about that. LOL

thunderdan · November 13, 2010 2:22AM

I don't care for the fish eye in the lower left corner.

A 1982 Wrestling All Stars Hulk Hogan in this condition sold for $100 about a month ago. Some people don't really care about condition and just want a piece of history.

Construction Engineer: So, we leveled the existing structure on the property, and within moments of removing the wrecking ball, the value of the land soared by at least 50%. Now that's what I call a great investment. We'll sell off some usable portions of the wreckage to help offset destruction costs.

Dpeck100: Wow, cool, I once saw a Wrestling All-Stars Andre The Giant torn into 32 separate pieces sell for 79 cents on eBay. You just never know who might want to own a piece of history.

I would need to see the back of the card before I decided!

frankhardy · November 13, 2010 3:23AM

Pro 8 or Pro 9?

scooter729 · November 13, 2010 3:38AM

Is that a crease near the top border?

Pigs · November 13, 2010 3:44AM

Item Description: Very Good. The Yankee logo might be the only thing VG on that card.

"THIS CARDS HAS BEEN ENJOYED...A LOT."

kingbeeswax · November 13, 2010 4:36AM

It's true. I just sold this card for $30...looks nice though, but any basic Mantle card is worth some cash..

MeteoriteGuy · November 13, 2010 4:42AM

I hope that Mick has not been violated!

Sorry I fixed that for you.

Brick · November 13, 2010 12:31PM

Darn. Snipe set too low.

mcadams · November 14, 2010 2:12AM

If that card is Very Good, what do you have to do to a card to make it just...Good...or Not Very Good....or Sux.

MantleMarisFordBerra · November 14, 2010 4:33AM

I actually thought the written out description was right on:

UP FOR BID IS A NICE 1959 TOPPS #10 MICKEY MANTLE CARD.

THIS CARDS HAS BEEN ENJOYED...A LOT. MULTIPLE CREASES AND ROUNDED CORNERS AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE. THE CARD REMAINS FULLY INTACT WITH NO TEARS.

POOR CONDITION CARD.

fkw · November 14, 2010 6:21AM

FWIW..... The card is an authentic 51 year old card from Mantles playing days....

Id much rather have this card than any of those lame hyped modern shinny garbage cards that many of you collect now.
Whats so special about some 1985-2010 Ruth, Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio, Cobb card?? They are all horse c®åp IMO, and the biggest (lamest) gimmick in the hobby today.

Smuggo · November 14, 2010 7:11AM

Frank,
Surely there are a few Strasburgs you would rather have.

Muggyman · November 14, 2010 8:05AM

At least nobody gave him a mustache or crossed out his name.

Dpeck100 · November 14, 2010 8:14AM

$27 bucks is two drinks at a nice bar that you will never remember. This is a tangible item that for someone who is not a high end card collector and for someone who simply wants the card is a great deal.

itzagoner · November 21, 2010 7:21AM

ttt for yet another gravity-defying future Mickey transaction.

i guess if it ain't there, it ain't got wear

stevek · November 21, 2010 8:06AM

<< ttt for yet another gravity-defying future Mickey transaction.

The seller really should have also mentioned the card was OC. LOL

itzagoner · December 4, 2010 11:28PM

ttt for this week's example.....this is getting to be so much fun that i might make it a regular event.

saved from consumption by rats

and yet, still currently worth more than a steak dinner.

scashaggy · December 4, 2010 11:38PM

Frozencaribou · December 5, 2010 2:47AM

I love those beat up cards. Good on people for buying those Mick's. If only my beat up 1980 topps commons could have shared value too...

corvette1340 · December 5, 2010 4:19AM

those are all nice autograph candidates.

CrazyMind2017 · December 5, 2010 4:20AM

1) buy old beat up Mantle card
2) sign it "Mickey Mantle"
3) beat it up some more to make the autograph look old
4) submit for encapsulation
5) PROFIT!!!

WinPitcher · December 5, 2010 6:49AM

The 59 is a 10.00 card IMO, and is what I'd call in poor condition.

A seller calling that card VG would never get any of my business, simply because I wouldn't look at any thing else he has.

If the buyer is happy at 27.01 than I'm happy for him.

itzagoner · February 15, 2011 1:29AM

UH OH!!!!!!

i could be wrong!

Dboneesq · February 15, 2011 1:45AM

<< UH OH!!!!!!

WOW! It's the One and ONLY MANTLE REVERSE NEGATIVE CARD! See that ... the '57 Aaron (it is the '57, right?) has nothing on THE MICK! LOL

all his stuff is reverse neg, i must be missing out on a profitable sales technique.

Muggyman · February 15, 2011 3:10AM

Muggyman getting in on the action...
1962 Topps Mickey Mantle All-Star card #471 in very poor (raw) condition

Who knows, maybe this card will be a GEM Grading Co. Mint 9.

Let's hear your guess what it will sell for? Without doing any research, I say..... $eight dolla!

Too bad about that little paper loss on the backs and the problem with the upper left hand corner.

Could be a very nice "bicycle-used" Mantle example?

P.S. "Kids enjoyed cards in their bicycle spokes until the cards stopped making noise!"
