Congrats! Excellent decision! Vintage is the way to go! Don't bother opening wax. Save your $ and buy vintage!

Man, that card looks great! I'd consider getting it graded, even if it comes back without a great grade it'll still be worth WAY more than $60 if you ever have to sell it!

RE: My first original Mickey Mantle!!!
Thanks everyone. I am considering getting it graded. I will scan a better pic of it soon and see what everyone thinks it should grade at. Its difficult for me to find any vintage close because of the lack of card shops close by. When I get it graded I will hold a contest and give some cards away for closest guesses on the grades. Hehe.

Congrats on the sweet card!
Since I am vintage myself I love collecting the older legends!
And you can really have lots of fun bargain hunting if you have the patience to pass one up once your spending limit has been reached!
