1969 Topps #500, Mickey Mantle ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I'm not a Yankees fan, per se, but there's no denying the greatness of The Mick!
This is the Mick's last solo mainstream playing days card.
Have a great day!🤝

Great art on this card, one of the more unique styles I’ve seen in my collecting journey.

The Cooper Flaggs were nice and so was that Pikachu Stadium slab which I almost got instead of the Mew but I made a decision and stuck with it. There were some graded comics that I could have scooped but got the Dick van Dyke auto instead 😮‍💨

A government postcard in sports memorabilia collecting refers to an official postal card issued by the U.S. Post Office that fans can send an autograph request to their favorite players. Since these postcards went through the postal system, postmarks often verify the year of the autograph.

The Larry Doby autographed card I have is dated December 5, 1950 and love how Doby inscribed it “Merry Xmas” for the time of year he signed the postcard. The back of the postcard has the return address of the fan who sent the request. It’s a great piece of history.

These postcards are also known as Penny Postcards as they would usually cost a penny to mail them.

Thanks @Brewgs for the Riley GREENe color/number match 😀

1955 Topps Baseball Cards ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famers
I adore the 1955 Topps Baseball card set and its design.
I'm in the hobby minority, but I prefer the 1955 over the 1956 Topps set hands down.

Recently saw some Bowman out in the wild so we grabbed one. It treated us well. My son was stoked to get “the guitar Mike Trout” and then the Bryce Rainer as he’s from where we live and played in the same youth league my son does now. But our big hit was the green reptilian 1st auto /99….my son’s eyes got as big as softballs when he pulled that from the pack!
