Definitely an interesting discussion over on that end. Glad to see some photo experts weigh in. It is amazing what they know about photos.
I am still leaning towards 1951. New York had very high expectations for Mantle, and I cannot think of a reason why he would not be included in a 1951 issue.

Proven 1951 Wheaties set is not from 1951. Was it even issued by Wheaties?

SORRY to burst your bubble. But Craig over on the memorabilia forum has proved beyond a doubt that the Mantle photo is from Oct. 6, 1952 See:http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=175818&page=3 Thus it could not have been issued in 1951. So now we know that the 1951 Wheaties set is NOT from 1951, it is time to wonder if it is a Wheaties set at all or issued by another company. I have reached out to Bob Lemke to see if he has any recollections of the genesis of the set over on the memorabilia forum. You may want to follow over there to see what his response is. Next we have to contact those at SCD who put out the Standard Catalog to make some kind of revision on the listing for the set. Fred Last edited by whiteymet; 09-18-2013 at 10:32 PM.

I don't think Craig has proven anything beyond a reasonable doubt--that is a very high standard and I still have my doubts. Pretty strong evidence that it is not from 1951 though. Owell. Still one of the most attractive cards made of him.

Hey Chris, you start erasing some of those 0's of that asking price yet?
This discussion has become very interesting and i have been digging thru and researching myself proving whether or not it is 'Wheaties'. Great Stuff!!!
