I got this (and Stan Williams) during 1967 when I first started collecting cards. <br /><br />Where did these 2 come from? I dunno, they just showed up one day among all my 1967 cards. You know how when you pull a handful of coins out of your pocket (or a jar) and sometimes there's a washer or a button among all the coins? Yeah, THAT!Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-71389932918572783802019-07-23T04:22:11.921-04:002019-07-23T04:22:11.921-04:00Absolutely!

I bought the Mantle from a card shop's junk box when I was in high school, and the Koufax came from a card show in the late '80s or early '90s.<br /><br />These were no investments either. The Mantle has a one-inch tear, and the Koufax has a horizontal crease where someone once folded it literally in half. I think I paid a dollar for each card.<br /><br />But I have a Mantle from the nineteen FIFTIES and a Koufax from the pinnacle (and twilight) of his career.<br /><br />Like Old Cards says above, who cares about investment? <br /><br />These cards were well loved by someone long before they found a home in my collection. If only cards could talk, these two could probably tell some great stories.Mike the History Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371409500201284568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-57730964494360234442019-07-22T23:58:30.693-04:002019-07-22T23:58:30.693-04:00Sweet card!

I'm sure I traded something vintage in nature.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-31647772215884712022019-07-22T19:57:40.950-04:002019-07-22T19:57:40.950-04:00Hmm, 1982, A Ripken rookie perhaps?
