Happy to add this to my collection:

Looks really clean except for a few small pin holes. Nice when a low grade looks so great.

Yes, that Mantle presents very well for a card with that grade. Great piece of pop art. Nice pickup.

 

[MojoDan]

Nice Mantle card Eric!

Congrats on a great pickup! It's a beauty

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

One of the most underrated players of all-time in my opinion. Baseball-Reference has him as the 15th greatest hitter of all-time. Definitely a lot of home runs came off bats like this one.

I'm jealous and proud at the same time! Excellent addition! If it means anything that card gets a 10 on my scale

That is my Dad's favorite player of all time and a fantastic card!

Nice, love that card. What the print run on that?

 

[JoshHamilton]

Knock on wood, by the end of the day I should own this. Just shooting the **** with the seller right now.

2/2; which worked out well, since I own the 2002 2/2 and 3/3, so I knew exactly what to offer the seller.

Whoa! Do you realize that this could be the knob of the bat with which he hit a walk-off grand slam against the Mets on Mother's Day (May 13, 2012)?! Unless he normally dyes his bat knobs pink, this knob should be one of two pink bats he had made for him by Louisville Slugger on 4/20/12 for the 5/13/12 Mother's Day game. Of course he could have broken one of the two pink bats earlier in the game but you'd be hard-pressed to find an identifiable knob with a better possible back story. You should try to track down video of the game to track his bat usage.

Check out this article about him using the pink bat. Everything points to this being from the bat.

My second 1/1 from this set:

Great card, great price! Consider me jealous. Went unsold at BIN/BO a few times and then I stopped watching

You're correct. Ironically, I got outbid when it came up on MLB Auctions two years ago...by Topps.

Thought I'd be able to get it for $600, which is double what the last Stanton knob went for. Seller has a $785 offer from Taiwan, which means I'd probably never see it again. Trying to figure out if I can go $800. That's WAY overpaying, but whatever. He's my favorite player, and my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. It's also my favorite Stanton highlight

Here are a few blues that I picked up

Sorry for the crappy eBay pics

 

[Juan Gris]

Do you believe the seller really has a $785 offer from someone in Taiwan? Will he even take your $800?

Any pics would look better without that "PROBSTEIN123" slapped on there.
