More to come.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

1968 Topps Game Mickey Mantle...yeah buddy!
So I'm still chasing down the 1968 Topps Game set and am getting pretty close, due largely in part because of a big lot that I recently picked up on eBay for around the price of a Blaster. I'll do an additional post on all the great cards and HOFers that came in this lot, but I wanted to show off this guy first and foremost. Not the greatest condition, but not horrible either. I love it. I still don't have what I consider a "real Mantle"...a regular old Topps base card...but I'm pretty damn happy with this.
More to come.

Very Nice. 3 cards to go?
ReplyDeleteYep! Brooks Robinson, Claud Osteen and Rod Carew. None of them should be very tough to get, just looking for the best deal. There are a couple cards that I might eventually look to upgrade condition-wise.
ReplyDeleteNice! Good luck with the remaining 3!
