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!

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