My Mickey Mantle collection

[PadresFan86]

I never knew my dad (he passed away from lung cancer when I was six months old), but my mother told me quite a bit about his collection. He once owned a '52 Mantle, but it burned up in a house fire. That's a big part of my interest (as well as hers) with Mantle.

My dad said his mom threw away all his cards including Mantle rookies :facepalm:

Forgot all about this stuff! There's another '52 Mantle reprint you should know about. There was a Yankees set that featured a card of a player from each year they won the World Series. It was to commemorate the 27th World Championship, so it's a 27-card set. Bought it at Target for $10, or something like that. There's a Jeter or two, and any championships before 1951 are commenorated on a '52 style card. Then there are three Mantles.

Not that I'm trying to drive you crazy,or anything...
I thinnk it was called Yankee Collection, based on the munbering YC14, YC15, etc.

You won't find any vintage, game-used (well, one), or cuts here.

Just curious but why don't you collect this stuff?

It wasn't that I don't collect it - just that most of it is out of my range. But, in the past year since making this topic I've been able to pick up a few affordable pieces.

Krom,

Just checked and I have those two. Thanks for the offer!

Greg - thanks for the heads-up! I saw that set on Dave and Adam's earlier and thought about getting it; guess I better see if they still have it in stock.

Mamunrud - I don't have anything that high-end (except for Mantle) to move towards it, but thanks for letting me know about it.

Here are my newest vintage additions:

1958 Topps #418 Mantle/Aaron PSA 4

1958 Topps #487 Mantle All-Star PSA 4

Interestingly enough, all three of my graded Mantle Vintage are PSA 4. Here are all four vintage Mantles together:

NICE! If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?

Not bad, I was thinking $400 or $500+.

Contemplating a couple more vintage Mantle purchases from Dave and Adam's Card World. I know I could find cheaper prices on eBay, but I like dealing with them and it's a bit easier on me since I don't have a PayPal account at the moment.
