Another Mickey Mantle, I mean, Hank Aaron card for my collection!

If you read my post yesterday and you remember that I'm trying to focus my collecting, you might be wondering why I bought a vintage New York Yankee lot.

Here's the main reason I bought it. A 1958 World Series Batting Foes card featuring Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron.

A Hank Aaron card that I need for my Topps Hank Aaron collection. With Hank Aaron sharing this card with Mickey Mantle I knew it would be a pricey card to obtain, so I was more than willing to add it to my collection in this condition. Maybe someday I'll upgrade, but for now I'll love every crease!

    Damn. That's one fantastic piece of cardboard. Looks exactly how I'd imagine a 1958 Topps World Series Batting Foes card looks like in my head.

    If I found that card in my bed eating crackers, I promise I wouldn't kick it out.

    That card is beautiful. I have one myself and it's one of my favorite cards in my entire collection.

    For some reason, I feel that card just needs to be well loved and creased.
