Was Mickey Mantle banned from baseball in the 1980's?
Yes. Mantle was placed on MLB's ineligible list in 1983 by then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for working as a greeter and representative for a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Kuhn believed that anyone that associated with gamblers or gambling establishments should be made to pay by being suspended or permanently banned and had earlier banned Willie Mays for the same reason. Sanity was restored when Kuhn stepped down as new Commissioner Peter Ueberroth reinstated both Mantle and Mays in 1985.
Does a round magnet on the bottom of a Mickey Mantle bobble head change its value?
The Mickey Mantle White base mini bobble head is worth about $1,000.- $1,500. in excellent condition. Mint bobble heads could sell as high as $2,000. The magnet will bring a higher price if the rest of the doll is in excellent plus condition. Add about $150. - $200. with the box for the Mantle and Maris dolls. The mini series of baseball bobbing heads were issued at the same time as the full sized White base from 1961- 1962. They are literally smaller version of the White base series and measure about 4 1/2" tall. Most of the dolls were equipped with a magnet on the bottom of the base and were often seen adorning the dashboards of cars. This could be one reason why they sell at a high price today. It was a comprehensive set with all the Major league teams plus two individual players- Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. See Related Links below for pictures and more information on vintage bobble heads.

For some reason I believe it was Mickey Mantle. But not certain. Lots of players hit home runs out of the ball park, especially now with the smaller parks. Barry Bonds and others have hit several balls out of the Giants park and into McCovey bay. Balls fly out of the Pirates stadium and into the river quite often, too.

Magazines in mint condition could sell for more. Minor flaws will bring the value down significantly. Common flaws include: foxing (yellowing), fading color, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, writing on the cover, and mailing labels.A quick check on eBay show that most are selling at or below the price stated above. The main reason is the condition, and they have mailing labels. The magazine is commonly found with mailing labels, and the dark cover tends to magnify even minor flaws.

Why is the mantle of the Earth often referred to as the cavern of crystals?
It isn't. At least not by Earth scientists! There is no reason based on the evidence to believe that there are significant void spaces (i.e. caverns) within the mantle (despite what you might see in films such as "The Core").
What will happen if convection in the mantle increased?
There is no reason to think that convection in the Earth's mantle is going to increase; indeed, I expect it to decrease over time. However, if it were to increase, the result would be an increasing number and severity of earthquakes, and faster continental drift.
