Like many of you, I collected as a kid and had a whole host of nice cards that are long gone. Recently caught the bug again to pick up some select cards that I’ve always admired
As a long-time fan of the 56 Topps set, I figured I’d start with the Mantle and pulled the trigger on this one pictured.
I enjoying scrolling through the many interesting threads and look forward to reading and learning more from the members here.
Cheers!

Outstanding card! Love the centering of the borders, you chose well.
Come on people now. Smile on your brothers.
Welcome back to the collecting. Plenty of peeps here to feed the addiction. You are off to a great start with that Mantle. What are you looking to get next?
That’s a great way to re-enter the hobby, Douglas! Congrats on the pickup…and welcome to the board.
Thank you! Appreciate the warm welcome. I’m going to be patient and learn before leaping. My aim is to get the 1956 Topps Yankees and Dodgers cards in higher grades and centered with excellent eye appeal; I like the lore of those teams in mid-50s WS battles; and the breadth of solid players they had.
Thank you for the warm thoughts. I liked the look of it for sure, I think it’ll be a keeper!
Thank you! I thought I’d start back with a bang(er); I’m pleased to have found it. Look forward to learning from you and others

You are definitely on the right track. Ive seen a ton of 56 mantles and that is a very nice 6 for the grade. Focusing on HOF's with excellent eye appeal and centering is a good plan! Looking forward to some of your future acquisitions.
Great choice on Mantle. J. Robinson and Berra would be good choices for future.
Welcome to the boards.
Nice choice on a card to get back into collecting!
Your 6 is very nice. Better than mine. Enjoy collecting.
Thank you! I appreciate you feedback and have been learning from you already on threads you’ve posted in. My goal is for centered and excellent eye appeal and I’ll take my time. Working on the 56 Topps Yanks at the moment. Look forward to being a contributor where I can
Thanks! Those are two on the list for sure!
Thanks! Figured I’d jump back in fully clothed
Thank you! Appreciate the warm welcome! That Mantle is superb too, love the eye appeal on that one

Welcome to the forum! You will be well liked if you are a big fan of the Mic, he is easily the most collected and talked about.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
As with most collectables keep learning and be patient
I'd say that's quite an excellent start.
Heckuva nice card!
