No fierce competition between the two, and they look out for each other for new cards and items. John is hoping to go out and see Richard next year when the National returns to Chicago. They will be pushing hard for Wade to stop by the Boggs Tavern.

	The Mantle Vault is virtual memorabilia room, a Mickey Mantle collection displayed only in the KeyMan Collectors Showcase. Most of the items were acquired by Jamie's late father, Jim, who passed in August of 1995. The collection represents a memorious journey for Jamie and his sister Jodi, spending time with dad, attending shows up and down the east coast.  Jamie's father went to so many shows that Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio knew him by his first name. If they saw him, the Yankee greats would call him up ahead of everyone on line. After a handshake, they would then sign anything he had, and everyone behind him would be very upset. Favorite Item: The Mickey Mantle Framed Display with the Cooperstown Collection Signed Jersey and Signed Bat.
