Just curious, slightly off topic... what ballpark is Mantle posed in for his 1955 Bowman? He is in road gray, but I can't imagine it being the Polo grounds (and it doesn't look like the Polo Grounds.) Thoughts?

Griffith maybe?

It looks like Shibe Park's outfield wall.
Found this info online from an SCD article By John McMurray Because of its distinguishing horizontal design showing players as if they were appearing on a large, brown-bordered color television set, the 1955 Bowman baseball cards are among the most recognizable ever made. Apparently inspired in part by the 1950 Drakes baseball cards, which also employed a television-set presentation, the ’55 Bowman baseball cards represented an obvious departure from the understated styles which both Topps and Bowman generally used throughout the 1950s. With many images of catchers about to field a pop up, Stan Lopata (No. 18) being a good representative example, and pitchers from the waist up about to begin their windups, such as No. 152 Johnny Klippstein, the 1955 Bowman cards are sometimes remembered for their consistently similar player poses, ostensibly all from photographs taken at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.

This Tom Terrific has the obligatory small gum stain on back, but it doesn't bother me a bit...

Aaron, Berra, & Mays
I picked up these cards the other day. I haven't sent in any cards to get graded in a long time. To me these look like a good candidates. Can anyone tell me what they might grade?
Thanks, Joe |

No PC sticker on this one, but good enough for me and much less $$$.

One of my favorite words is "Yowza," so allow me to enthusiastically throw one your way. YOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what grades you will get, but look at how beautiful those cards appear in their magnificent state of 'overmagnification.' I never see anything even remotely similar. Holy heck and good luck indeed!!!!!!

Your Mays surface looks a little hazed so maybe less for him? Good Luck if you decide to send them in.

Yep. Bowman was based in Philly, so used Shibe Park as the convenient location for many of the AL photos. Kind of like Topps being in NY - if you look particularly at the 1970 Topps set - almost all the National Leaguers were photographed at Shea Stadium.

Picked up ten 66 high numbers, including toughies, for cheap at a show today. The White Sox Rookies at .75 was the cheapest, and Clarke at only $8 in VG/EX was the most expensive. Clarke, Norhtrup and McFarlane are listed as SP's and Snyder has a rep as a tough one, or at least it used too. Love the design of the 66's, but man these 7th series cards take a long time to find at reasonable prices!

Nice card. I always wondered what the little flesh colored nodules were in the background, especially the one seemingly coming out of Warren's neck to make him resemble Frankenstein. Just something on the wall behind him?
I had this card as a kid (probably in the early 90's) but traded it somewhere along the line. Mine was in much worse shape, with heavy creasing across the length of the card horizontally near the bottom.
