Mantle Premium
 

Hey,

Picked this up from ebay because I thought it looked unique. It's a great great shot of the Mick. I have search far and wide for a comp (google, my vintage card bible, etc) and can NOT find this sucker anywhere. It's glossy on the front and blank/rougher on the back. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking a spalding or rawlings premium but nope. Also thought one of those Matty's premiums but nope as well.

Here is the photo which is a 8X10 size.

That image was used in the "12 action pictures" set that sold for 75cents. Also included Stengel,kubek,skowron,Lopez,ditmar,turley,Howard,f ord,Richardson,Maris and Berra.
I also have a set with that image with Bauer,Berra,Carey,Collins,ford,Howard,Larsen,mcdou gald,Martin,skowron,turley
This is also a 12 action picture set.

I am not the original owner of either of these sets but have seen these before for sale so I am reasonably sure they are accurate. I do have the envelopes that they came in and the names are printed on it. No scanner but someone out there probably has them and can load it up as I don't think they are that rare but they are cool.

You have an idea of years? I think that photos looks 50's.

1956

Next up: Any idea on value?

$75-100ish depending on condition. Just my thoughts and what I'd pay if I were looking.

Hi hater! I figured it was worth 50-100. I paid like 60 something cause I thought it looked cool and hadn't seen one with that image. Bro you hate on every single post I make. Such a tool bag

Thanks a lot man. It's cool. I like it.

No problem at all. I should give credit to AustinMike, who is one of the more knowledgeable people I know on team issues Mantles, as I believe I got the year from him. I think you got it for a fair price given the condition. If I was in the market, I would have jumped at that. Premium photos are a weird collectible. You can get a really awesome vintage piece for a fraction of what a card from the same era would bring. I'm a huge fan of them, although the difficulties identifying them complicate the whole process.

"Every single post"?

Huh.

No hate here at all. Just love your work.
