Question on Mantle 5x7 - Legendary Auctions
 

I'm confused by the description of this item.

Appears to be a nice 5X7 original of young Mick, but they include something about an illustration? :confused:

"This classic Mantle image -- presented here in a black-and-white, glossy-paper photo measuring about 5" x 7" -- shows the right-handed batting pose made famous by a widely distributed souvenir decal of the period. The illustration is bright and clear (minimally EX/MT quality) and the photo is about VG/EX overall with peripheral surface faults."

By illustration, they mean the photographic image of Mantle. They're saying the image is sharp, but the overall photo has a bit of wear. I agree they could have used a better word. There is no sketch in the lot.
