Wholeheartedly agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob did a beautiful job on that Red Man Mantle. I carefully placed mine in a mylar SNUG, made by Bill Cole Enterprises, then in a thick Capital Plastics four-screw holder. I would proudly display it with original period Mantles because it's a beautiful work of art.
In the same theme, Bob Lemke did a swell job on his creation of a complete 1963 JELL-O Black Raspberry box with the free prize card being Mickey Mantle. However, Bob did not do a reprint as such. Using the gorgeous advertising poster photo of Mick that JELL-O displayed in supermarkets and grocery stores at the gelatin aisle, Bob cropped the best part of the photo and gave his JELL-O box this variant photo of Mickey. Looks spectacular.
Fantasy Mickey Mantle cards, if they're done well, find a very appreciative fan in me. ---Brian Powell
