My brother surprised me with these two Mantle cards for my birthday.

My brother hasn't fooled with cards since 1985 or so. He is the reason I got into cards as a seven year old. He will buy me a wax box from BBCE or a rookie card from time to time. So those mean a lot along with these two new additions.

I was on our family vacation during my birthday so we caught up tonight. He hand picked these at a local card shop. So these even have more sentimental value.

Both are crease free and perfect additions to my small personal collection.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Yes, but make sure you update your list with all the real names you have captured over the years.
