My grandpa traded four used tires for this card in 1995 at a South Carolina jockey lot. 'Jockey lot' is a southern term for flea market, by the way.
What a legend. And so is Mick.
Is it mint? Hell no. Is it my favorite card? Hell yes. It's my only base Mantle and I don't foresee that changing. I do have five others from his playing days that will be posted someday. But for now, enjoy the '64 goodness.
Go Redlegs.
Seems fair - used tires for a used Mantle. Great story!
ReplyDeleteGreat Card
ReplyDeleteGood deal for an awesome card!
ReplyDeletea. Cool card. The fact that your grandfather once traded it for four tires makes it even cooler.
ReplyDeleteb. As a flea market freak... I appreciate you teaching me the "jockey lot" lingo.
