Jack LondonNice cards, everyone! Very impressive collections there.
I just got this one (though it is technically a baseball card, the relic card is from his personal wardrobe, so it is kinda nonsport). I am a fan of The Mick (though not the Yankees) and couldn't resist this. It came with the complete set of 2006 Topps Baseball cards in a Target store exclusive. There are other types of fabric, and the cool thing is that you can pick which one you like, as the card is set into a plastic window in the front of the box:

I might take it of your hands if you want but I see no difference really... just a bit dirty perhaps.

Just did some internet research and discovered that supposedly Target will only offer these Mantle sets for six days, ending tomorrow Dec.2. My piece of fabric came from a suit of Mickey's. The other "variants" are a red dress shirt, blue dress shirt, and white dress shirt. I thought this checked swatch was the most interesting and unique of the four and am glad I snapped it up, instead of waiting as I usually do. If the internet report is right, the sets will be returned to the Topps Company day after tomorrow.

Thanks for the warning Jack... I'll go check it out tomorrow!

zhamlauand yet STILL no autograph! Costumes in Bond, Xmen, Catwoman, multiples of each but still no autograph, you would have thought they might have gotten her for catwoman at least. Inkworks/Topps/RA all have made costume cards for her to, you would have thought one of them could have landed her for 100 autos or so.

True... oh well, I probably couldn't afford it anyways.
