Awesome Yankees cards! I thought you were a Cubs fan for some reason. I guess that's another James.
Here's an odd tidbit about the Maris rookie:
A large percentage of the '58 Topps Maris cards you see are scuffed on the front or have white marks like yours. Mine is too and you'll see tons on eBay that way.
It's not as apparent in some of the eBay thumbnails, but if you click on the images you'll see the white scuff marks.
As a vintage Yankees collector, I've noticed this since the '80s. It must have been the location of the card on the printing sheet. Very odd how that ended up happening to such an important card.

I have an extra '58 Mantle with a pinhole at the top. I think it's cool too. Adds character and makes you think how much a kid must have loved the card to hang it up.

Love the '58! I still need that one for my set.
I also am loving that Nabisco auto. I bought the Ernie Banks w/coa at the pawn shop for $10.

I remember those Nabisco autos! It's hard to believe that Don Drysdale has been dead for 20 years...he had an auto in that set, and not many made their way out. I sent in for the whole set, and got an extra Phil Niekro in place of my Drysdale. At that time, Hunter was such a common auto, too bad he died so young as well.
