Headlines in the sports/pop-culture collectibles world are usually about the big money auctions & most coveted cards.

Since most of us had a better shot at CATCHING Ohtani's 50th HR ball than buying it at auction (up to nearly $1.5M w/ 2 weeks to go...), the team at Mantel is starting a newsletter for the common collector.

Introducing Mail Day. Entertaining, timely, relatable. The first send is this week.

My FIL found some coins a family member left behind and sent over a photo, asking for help identifying rarity, etc. Looks like all older US coins, but not sure what’s valuable/rare vs what’s just old.

Anyone spot anything interesting?

When Zach Good was younger, he hoped to one day have a cool man cave in his home.
Now in his 30s, Good has the financial resources to tackle that project. One area of concentration for Good is collecting jerseys of NFL players.
A few years ago, Good started buying vintage 1990s Champion jerseys of players he enjoyed watching growing up, including Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Steve Young, and Randall Cunningham. He amassed about 50 fan jerseys.
“I have a long-term goal where I want to collect one jersey of every number from 1 to 99, which is a pretty ambitious goal,” Good said.

I tried getting a base auto but the servers were crashing due to the high traffic volume. Once I was able add to cart, the card was sold out when checking out 😩. Everything sold out within 5 mins. I think all the cards would have sold out sooner if the servers were not crashing.

Auto prices ranged from:
$1200 /99
$2999 /25
$6999 /10

Anyone get their hand on one?

Releasing 10/25 as part of a premium set for the 5th Anniversary of the Traditional Chinese Pokémon TCG. Love the guest appearances from Mew and Charizard.

Hi Everyone,

Please checkout my new unboxing of two 2024 Bowman Chrome Mega Boxes. I got a few cards that are definitely going into my collection and one card in particular that I was super pumped to pull.

Thank you for you support!!

Topps just released the first look of the 2024 Cosmic Chrome "Launched into Orbit" set with a Ken Griffey Jr. Auto. Love the design on this one and I bet with it being die cut, it will stand out visually in hand.

📰 Hope you enjoy my latest article detailing my adventure into women's hockey cards!

"On May 14, 2023, I published my first @womenshockeycards post on Instagram. The post featured a picture of an autographed 1992 Classic Manon Rheaume card that Rheaume had sent me as a thank you for promoting her children’s book, ‘Breaking the Ice: The True Story of the First Woman to Play in the National Hockey League.’

At the time, it was the only women’s card in my collection. It was then that I realized I had thrown myself into the deep end of the pool without really knowing how to swim."
