Default Dexter Press

Thought I would share another Mantle variation...albeit a minor one!
The item is listed by Kelly E. and graded by PSA as a c1960's Dexter Press Southwestern Historical Wax Museum Postcard. Kelly notes in an SCD article that it is designated as an 809-C, but there are also 99704-B designations. If you look at the Dexter Press dating by year, the 809-C is from 1965 and the 99704-B is from 1964. Small variation I know, but for Mike and Chris I am guessing you want both! lol

The dating holds true for the Dexter Press items I have in my PC too. Curious about what others may have too. Notice the 66/67 Mick's have 22295-C which corresponds to 1967.

The interesting one though is the postcard with Mantle wrapping his knee. This is not mine, but look at the number - 36419. That number is shown as being from 1951. I have only ever seen one of these and maybe it was just a test issue that wasn't released. Who would want a pc of an injured Mick! I do think it is cool though, and would make it one of a few "card" examples of a 1951 rookie Mick.
