#18 MICKEY MANTLE, Yankees ~ The 300/400/500 Club card

Description: Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan will show horizontal lines and/or cross hatching marks. Rest assured, these are not on the card itself. Usually scanning problems are confined to color pictures but today it's "advanced" to black and white! (You will note that the second scan (reverse side of the card) exhibits none of these problems.)Offered for your consideration is . . . Vintage 1980 Commemorative Trading Card#18 - MICKEY MANTLE, New York Yankees ~ 536 Home Runs Issued in 1980 by Fleer artist R. G. "Bob" Laughlin Robert G. "Bob" Laughlin (1925-2006) was very active within our hobby from the 1960s onward producing card sets of his own creation (usually very limited editions of just a few hundred) as well as serving as artist for various Fleer baseball sets - perhaps most notably Fleer's All-Star and World Series sets.This is card is from one of Bob's last efforts: A 30 card colorful tribute to "The 300 .400 500 Club" - 300-win pitchers, .400 hitters and 500-homer sluggers (since 1900). Card size is a rather unique 3-1/4" square. Cards of this size will fit in standard 4-pocket collector pages designed for old-style postcards. The backs are blank.ANY number of single cards (up to and including 8 by 10 inches in size) will be shipped USPS Ground Advantage for the single card rate, IF the buyer will request and await a combined invoice before paying. EBay standard envelope service is also available within its limitations. Unsure how to do this, please email us for instructions. Condition: Crisp Near-Mint Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist). _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
