This wasn't a "Mantle series," Topps reprinted the entire 1952 set (minus 5 cards where they couldn't get the player to sign off on including them in the reprint set). It was released as a complete boxed set. In 1991 Topps did a reprint of the entire 1953 set and those ones were released in packs. A few years after that, they did a reprint of the 1954 set that was also distributed in packs.
The 1996 Topps set was released as a tribute after Mantle died.
