Even my least favorite Paul Skenes throwback card from the 2024 Transcendent release is cool.
This is the 2014 Topps design.

It’s been a dog’s age since I posted up here. I started my Mantel account with the full intention of sharing up my collection. Not long after starting Mantel, my 26 year old son passed from this world to the next. Understandably, I took a giant step back from a lot of things, card collecting included. At the suggestion of my grief counsellor, I was advised to find one thing that brought me happiness before his passing. I decided to dust off the ol storage boxes and get back into the hobby. No longer am I chasing the big YGs l of the week, but now I focus exclusively on collecting Indigenous players. I’ve leaned into it pretty hard, creating FB, IG, and TikTok accounts for Diceman…follow me up if you like. My goal is to have the largest collection of Indigenous hockey players from all levels of hockey, grow my collector network, and one day, launch a podcast about my story. Please join me in this journey, and if you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading…and see you next pack.

For my first post back, please check out my Rookie Materials patch /25 of Calen Addison (Métis), thanks again.

Diceman

This is the first wrestling Autograph set I’ve ever put together and it was a labor of love.

I’ve been a pro-wrestling fan my entire life and AEW is the only pro-wrestling I follow and watch regularly anymore.

I’m usually a baseball & Doctor Who guy when it comes to cards but when I saw the Blowout Buzz for this set in January I knew it was one I had to put together.

I just love the look of the cards- they are so clean.

All 94 Autographs are pictured below (I finished the non-auto set over the summer & that set is not pictured here)

No more than 16 copies of this set are possible to exist (Nick Wayne, Deonna Purrazo, Hologram & Kenny Omega only have 16 autos- 15 Gold, 1 Black each, and no base autos).

I was really starting to think I was never going to see a Kenny for sale, ever, and then one showed up on eBay for 499 a few weeks ago and had to grab it!

Just really excited to share!

1936 R312 National Chicle Premium Pastels, C.Bolton/E.Whitehill ⭐ Senators Greats
Let's turn the clock back 90 years to this condition sensitive beauty.
I've been loading up on 1936 R312 Premium Pastels lately.
The best Pre-War cards for your dollar IMO.
I love the R312 muli-player cards.
Both of these men starred on the A.L. pennant winning Washington Senators team of 1933.
Cliff Bolton: Put up a standout performance in 1933, hitting .410 in 33 games as a key reserve for the American League pennant-winning Senators.
Earl Whitehill: Put together a career-best 22-win season in 1933 and pitched a crucial 5-hit shutout in Game 3 of the 1933 World Series to earn Washington's only win of that series.
