Question about 1996 Topps
Hey everybody,
Just a question about the 1996 Topps Cereal Box complete set?
In addition to the 4 Mickey Mantle Commemorative cards in the set, someone told me that there's a chance of a signed Mantle randomly inserted as well. There is no indication of this Auto stated on the box. Has anyone heard about this or not?
Thanks,
Mitch
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Not that I have heard of and figuring he died in 1995 if memory serves me right I don't believe this to be true.

This is the first I have ever heard of it, but that does not mean it did not happen.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

Thanks all!
I was given bad info to get me to buy a box set. Glad I didn't take the bait!
