So we're looking for date where Mantle has the same pimple display, is wearing a home jersey, no patch on upper left arm, shortsleeve underjersey, Yankee Stadium, in April 1951.

Here is the ORIGINAL photo on the Getty site.
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...VItFb3Wu.xLWQQ
It says circa 1955, Created 1/1/55 Obviously the photo was not taken on New Years day, but do you know how Getty dates the photos?
note NO PINSTRIPES. They must have been
added to the "Wheaties" issue.
Also ALL uniforms in 1951 had the arm patch, so my take is the shot can not be from 1951.
We are trying to determine the date of the photo to see if indeed the "Wheaties" set could have been issued in 1951. If the dates on the Getty site are correct and the photo is from 1955 then the set cannot be 1951.
Make sense? Any ideas?
