My first Mantel post has to be this Rhea Ripley 2023 Select Ringside Black 1/1. As a huge fan of hers, I was instantly captivated when I first saw the preview image for Select! The photograph chosen by Stephen Pellegrino and his team was outstanding. I thought to myself, “I have to get at least a true gold version of this card.” Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine owning the black 1/1. I’d joined several breaks hoping to hit the true gold, and then, one night, it happened. I pulled this beauty from a break I had almost forgotten about. I’m still in shock! This is hands down my favorite card in my collection.
