Thanks! Working my way back on Mantles, next up is 1960. That said, I probably won't ever go older than 1955 or 56 due to how expensive the early Mantles are
New to your channel but like what I see! I very much can understand considering the Seaver RC a prized possession, as it is for me too. Wanted that card for a lot of my childhood, and don't know that I ever even saw one in the flesh until I was an adult. I was finally able to make mine happen in 2021. Happy New Year!
Very nice collection! You are correct about the Seaver rookie. Vary rare it evens pops up online, and when it does, it goes for quite a bit. That is a great looking 3, btw. I saw a raw copy sell for 367 last year, and it looked like it would grade a FR1.5-GD2 if graded. Happy to say that I have a lot of the same cards as you showed, but you have me beat on the grades (kudos on the nice copies). I did purchase a Mantle '54 Bowman last year on Auction of Champions, but it raw, and would only grade a PR1, but like you, I bought it because I wanted an early Mantle for my PC. I enjoyed your enthusiasm for your cards enough that you may have inspired me to put together a Top 50 for my collection. Anyway, I enjoyed the video, and happy collecting, sir!
Really nice presentation of some very impressive cards in your PC! Enjoyed your comments and the information about many of the cards and your history in acquiring them. Just subbed your channel and look forward to catching up on your videos. Keep up the good work! Take care, Rob.
