This just arrived from the 2010 REA Auction. It is the key component to my Ron Santo Master Set.

Thanks for looking

Nicely done Ty!

Thanks. I got it out of the latest REA auction. I paid a bunch for it but it is well worth it as it has a POP of 1 and none are graded higher. I have a feeling the Mantle will hold its value.

Is this a rare item? Anything from REA costs a ton.

Wondering this myself. What makes this a holy grail?

The bazooka panels are extremely rare as they are all over 40 years old. Having the lines around the card makes it gradeable by PSA. Most that still exist are creased or miscut. The Bazooka boxes were a regional issue from Topps that were mostly disposed of after the kids ate the gum. There have only been a handful of this card ever graded and this is the highest grade received on this panel. I paid over 2000 for the panel. This is the Holy Grail of my Santo collection as it is the hardest to find and the most expensive due to Mantle.

Thanks for looking.

Let's see some of the others. I saw on the CU board that you have a 1967 Stand Up, right? I'd love to see the top pieces in your collection...

Mantle? Never heard of him. Now that Art Mahaffey. Future HOFer!
