Another Auction by CRIPPLE CREEK AUCTIONS INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS Please Read: After 15 years of selling internationally and shipping items all over the world, we are sad to announce that we have decided to discontinue shipping to countries or buyers outside of the United States. The reason for this decision is based on the current policies of Ebay and Paypal. Ebay and Paypal require that Sellers provided tracking information and insurance on all items sold. The only way to get tracking information on items shipped outside of the United States is by shipping an item by Priority Mail. This is expensive. And, because of all the fraudulent activity of dishonest Sellers and claims by dishonest bidders that items are not being received - when in fact the item has been delivered, we can understand why Paypal and Ebay would require tracking information. This decision by Ebay and Paypal was instituted to protect everyone - both the Buyer and the Seller. The only problem is that the policy that requires Sellers to provide tracking information in the event of a claim - it has drastically increased the cost of shipping items to Buyers who live outside of the United States. But now there is another problem in the fact that Ebay is starting their Global Dashboard, in which Sellers are being rated by international buyers and one of the questions is the question regarding the Cost of Shipping. Because priority mail is expensive, but required by Ebay and Paypal, International Bidders are giving low marks on the cost of shipping. We do not feel that this is a fair way to rate Sellers, whcn Sellers are required to provide tracking information and thus are limited to ship their items by Priority Mail - in order to be protected. It is a no-win situation for Sellers - and thus - we feel the only feasible way to protect our interest and reputation is to cease selling and shipping to International Bidders. We wish the best of luck to all International Bidders. Perhaps Ebay and Paypal will come up with a more equitable solution in the future, and if they do, we will start offering items to International Bidders once again. This is a unique item as it is the 1951 MINOR LEAGUE PROGRAM of the KANSAS CITY BLUES The First AAA Club that Mickey Mantle played for in 1951, his rookie season, before he was re-called up by the New York Yankees later in the season in 1951 It is also interesting to note that on the cover, Mickey Mantle and Bob Cerv are pictured in the second row, and from Left to Right, they are the 5th and 6th player. They are both listed below. This is the Official Score Book from 1951 and Mickey Mantle is featured on the front cover in a team photo. It is also interesting to note that this team photo was taken early in the 1951 Season and was then used the photo cover through-out the rest of the 1951 Season by the Kansas City Blues. But, as you look inside the program, there is no mention of Mickey Mantle being on the roster, and that is because when this scorecard was put out, he had already been re-called back up and he was not on the score card or on the line-up. However, Bob Cerv is still on the roster and he was still starting for the Kansas City Blues at this time. This Score Card was for the game against Milwaukee Here is some information about Mickey Mantle's Minor League Record Minors Batting Glossary � SHARE SHARE [X] � CSV � PRE � LINK � More Tools Year Age Tm Lg Lev Aff G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS TB GDP HBP SH SF IBB 1949 17 Independence KOML D NYY 89 323 101 15 7 7 .313 . 18 Joplin WA C NYY 137 519 199 30 12 26 .383 . 19 Kansas City AA AAA NYY 40 191 166 32 60 9 3 11 50 5 23 30 .361 .445 .651 1.096 108 5 2 0 3 Seasons 1008 32 360 54 22 44 50 5 23 30 .357 .373 .585 .958 590 5 2 0 Minors Fielding Glossary � SHARE SHARE [... read more
