My latest pickup (Mantle!)

[linuxabuser]

Picked this up the other day. I've only seen one on eBay in the last 5 years. For the uninitiated (and future users of the search button) it's a 2001 Legends of New York Mickey Mantle jersey #LYJ-MM. Only 63 of these suckers made.

I googled the hell out of this trying to find an appropriate amount to bid...my searches pointed to one stale worthpoint listing (the one from 2008), the eBay auction I bought this from, and my wantlist This card is like a ghost, but I'm happy to finally have it.

Nice pickup!

One of my favorite (and less expensive/rare) sets from 2001 is 2001 UD Legends Game Jersey and Game Bat. I would love to pick up a Mantle from each of those.

I have two 2001 UD Exclusives Pinstripes with Griffey in my PC one with Mantle and the other with Dimaggio. Those are very rare as well with only 50 made of each! Here are those two since this thread is related to Mantle:

Cool card and yes, that set is boss looking! Also glad to see people saying something numbered to 50 is rare.
