Frankie is having a contest over at My Life In The Sports Card Hobby. Go join!
I honestly think that this post might change every day, but here are my three favorite cards as of this second:
Yeah, it's beat up, but it's my only Mantle base card. I have a few others - checklists and subsets, but this is my only true base, and I'll always love it.
This was my first TTM success from Tino Martinez, my favorite player. Tino doesn't sign much through the mail, but I sent to him while he was injured one September, and the envelope came back on my birthday!
This card was a Listia win, and the seller also sent a bunch of autographs with it. I have a couple Rizzuto autos, but this is the only certified one.
If you asked me this question tomorrow, my answer would be probably be different. Picking just three is really hard.
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.
All three are awesome!
ReplyDeleteAny Mantle is a good Mantle
ReplyDeleteUber-jealous of that Mantle!
ReplyDeleteI love the Mantle! Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to pick up a nice Mantle...
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. One of these days I'll add a vintage Mantle base card to my PC. As for picking three... I'm running into the same problem. But I think I've figured out a solution ;)
