One pf the more amazing things about your Mickey Mantle card is that he is listed as a first-baseman -- heresy to those of us who saw him in centerfield at the Stadium. Great rookie cards of Bench, Koosman, Ryan. Ah, baseball cards! The year I was most into them was 1957. I had a Mantle card but that was a casualty of the clean-up of my room when I went away to college. From 57 I do still have Hodges, Snider, Erskine, Reese, and Sal Maglie. My prize holdings include a '65 Koufax.
Thanks for the post. "If winter comes can spring training be far away?"

Spent my afternoon organizing and cataloging my baseball card collection. It's a therapeutic way to connect with both the sport and my personal history. Whether they're worth a fortune or just sentimentally valuable, these cards remind me why I fell in love with baseball in the first place.https://www.uplaay.com/baseball/
