Yes indeed kirk--hard to believe it's already been 20 years (Jerry Garcia too!!)

Since nothing gets thrown out - here's my copy of the tribute that SCD did for the Mick:



I've got a scan of the really nice pic SI did of Mantle - will try to find it later.

The artwork for SCD was not very good IMO - I think it was done by TS O'Connell or some name like that?

And from that issue - here's Goodwin's "sell" prices for PSA 9 Mantles:

60T: $1995
66T: $650
68T: $695
68T Superstars: $435

For PSA 8:

56T: $1695
60T: $395
62T AS: $225

edit: checked inside the issue - was TS who did the artwork

Hard to believe that 20 years has passed so quickly. Many here already know, but THE MICK was my idol growing up. There will NEVER, in my eyes, be a ballplayer like him. Hope you're resting in Peace Mick!

I have to agree. That looks nothing like him.
