The image on the Mantle/Maris photo is the same one used on the McCarthy postcard of Mantle/Maris.

Whoever started calling photos "Manny's" photos did a disservice to collectors. I don't think Manny's had anything to do with the production of "Manny's" photos. They only sold them. They could have just as easily been called "Marshall's photos" or "Oreck's photos." Below is a two-page ad from a magazine for Marshall Oreck that includes 10-photo sets of the various teams. I would bet these are the same ones as sold by Manny's Baseball Land.

You'll also note that both sites sell All-Star Old Timer photos with both Ruth and DiMaggio included in the available list.
