RE: Top 5 favorite cards of your favorite player?
This was tough ... I have several favorite players and several favorite cards, but sadly, the two groups aren't successfully intersecting
My all time favorite is Mickey Mantle ... And ashamed to admit that I don't have any auto cards or GU relics of him, but here are my 5 favorite vintage Mantles from my collection.

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.

This looks better than my signature. Of course, I am disabled and I don't practice my signature any more. I really should start back up again.

It was a tough decision between these and some of my Piazza stuff but I had to go with some vintage Koufax. BTW love the vintage Mantle DrMitch!
Topps Master Set Builder, Dodgers and Mike Piazza Collector as well.

Thanks, Bro!
Mutual Respect Club ... All hail the Ruth card King... Your GU Ruth cards are totally amazing!
I need to get me some GU Mantles! Even if they're half as good as your Ruth cards, they'd be awesome!

Thanks, Jason!
Mutual Respect Club II .... Vintage Koufax rocks! Unfortunately, I only have 2 .. The 1961 that you have and a 1959 Topps. But that 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Koufax Rookie card has me drooling!
Not taking anything away from the rest of y'all ... Some pretty respectable displays of incredible cardboard, people! I tip my hat to each and every one of you!
