Hey Mantel Collectors,

Got a minute? We’ve got something important to run by you—and no, it’s not about the latest grail card or a can’t-miss auction. This time, it’s all about you.
We’re rolling out a short, snappy survey that’s your chance to sound off about Mantel—what you love, what’s missing, and what would make your experience more enjoyable.

And if you’re feeling extra chatty, we’ve added an option to hop on a quick 1-on-1 call with us once you’re done. We’re here for your ideas, hot takes, and yes—even your constructive criticism.

This isn’t just a survey—it’s an open door to help craft the future of Mantel. And trust us, we’re all ears.

Take the Survey

Cheers,
Mantel Team

Next month, we’re launching Mantel Groups (Beta), a new way for you to connect with other like-minded collectors who share your passions. Whether it’s 1972 Topps Baseball, Star Wars memorabilia, Jordan Brand sneakers, ancient coins, or something completely off the wall, Mantel Groups are all about building spaces for your favorite collectibles and the conversations that come with them.

Mantel Groups will let you create sub-communities based on the collectibles you’re most passionate about. It’s your chance to gather people who care as much as you do about the niche (or not-so-niche) corners of the collecting world.

Want to Help Us Start a Group?
We’re officially opening the waitlist for those who want to launch a Mantel Group. If you’ve got an idea for a group that the Mantel community needs to see, now’s your time to shine.

Join the waitlist today to submit your Group idea and be ready to hit the ground running when we launch next month. We'll launch with a small handful of Groups and then expand as we pressure-test the new feature.

Let’s make Mantel Groups the place for collectors to connect, share, and grow. Ready to lead? Sign up here.

Likely the only one in existence- Harry Vardon. Didn’t know the name until tonight. Very cool.

2008 is my favorite year of chrome. I think it’s the team colors and bubble letters on the white stock. The colors and design just work. The xfractors are cool (think early mosaic pattern). Was hoping for a 10 on this one. As a KG fan and a Celtics fan, Garnett popping his jersey just represents the swagger and attitude he brought to the court. Those 2000’s teams should have won 3-4 but random late season injuries stopped KG, Pierce, Allen, Rondo, and Perk from becoming a dynasty.

So, I didn’t have any luck pulling Caitlin Clark in the Monopoly blasters, so, naturally I had to keep trying. I had 3 Select Blasters that I was saving for a rainy day and decided that today was that rainy day :).
I’ve opened quite a few WNBA blasters and have only hit a few base CC cards. My luck turned a bit today and am thrilled with pulling my first Caitlin Clark Silver Prizm!
Need to find some more to rip now! Haha- I do have a couple Prizm blasters that I preordered but I think those won’t be out for a few more months!

So much fun opening vintage cards I’ve had for years 😉

Added another one to the collection- this one is extra special since I used to work with Shams. I guess I probably should have had him sign a base when back then vs buy an auto on eBay, but the price was reasonable.
Never met anyone who works harder- phone in hand basically every second he’s awake. Stressful way to live but that’s how the news breaking game works!

A few I’ve been pulling from some old packs that I’ve been ripping 😉

I need your help….
Ladies and gentlemen. Please support me as I run $1 auctions, sell some pc autograph Memorabilia, cards, and give away free Mantel Carepackage at 4pm PT on January 15th.

One of my favorite WCW wrestlers growing up. DDP was a true underdog who finally got his due.
