oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh (Mickey Mantle rookie card)


Mickey! Mickey Mantle! Mickey Mantle rookie
card (1952 Topps, obviously, not the 1951 Bowman.)

We got him from his original owner, how cool
is that? Mr. Previous Owner said,

"I have this Mickey Mantle, and it would be
worth a lot, if I hadn't taped it to my wall
when I was a kid."

Dude, it's a Mickey Mantle rookie card. Do
you really think we're going to turn you away
because you taped him to the wall?

Heck no at all. Hand it over, thank you very much.

Gaze upon the Mantle . . . oh, Snoopy, today,
happiness is a Mickey Mantle rookie card, creased
and taped as it may be!
