Can anybody please offer details on this Mantle card? - osujeffrey - 02-22-2016
I bought this card a few weeks ago but have never seen anything like it before? Have any of the collectors on this site seen one or can anybody vouch for origin/validity?
It seemed like a great pick up for a Mantle fan
I hope the link copies, it has been a while since I have been posting on here.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Yup. I have this card.
http://www.beckett.com/baseball/2010/yankees-topps-27-world-championships/14-mickey-mantle1951-topps-7643907
It came in a complete set of 2010 Topps Yankees 27 World Championships. Mantle has three cards in the set (1951, 1952 & 1953 reprints). The set features many notable Yankees players on reprinted cards.
Just noticed the strand of hair. Don't know anything about that.

Really freaking cool but boo hiss on the BCCG case. Need to get that into a BGS holder.

Thanks for the input and info guys.. I guess what baffles me is it appears the hair was put in the case by the bccg folks?
I have never heard of the encapsulating company doing something like this? Maybe a convention promo??

They did a bunch of jersey and bat pieces like that, but I don't recall ever seeing hair. Thought it wouldn't surprise me if they did at some point.

Thank you appreciate the info. I have seen the bats/jrsy cards before but thought this one was a bit odd. I still bought it though, it looks legitimate and has a nice spot in my Mantle collection.
Thanks again

I wonder if you can reach out to Beckett? If you got it re-encapsulated, would they lose the hair? Haha.
