Here, here!
There'll never be another MICK! He left us too young. Only 85 today. Last edited by MattyC; 10-20-2016 at 01:05 PM. |

I like the real photo they used to create the background for the 1956 card of "the Mick".

Thanks guys, it will make a nice addition to my Mantle collection. Arriving on Mantle's birthday was not planned, but does make it a little more special. The card looks great in hand.

Given that Ted Z. loaded up his beautiful array of Mickey, I had my son attempt loading up the cover of my book, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, along with the table of contents, Mickey being well-represented. Sadly, in both instances, the KBs in both respective files exceeded the 19.5 KB limit which Net54baseball has in its system. Can you say
If anyone owns my book, and is technologically advanced enough to understand how to get around the limitations, I meekly ask, "help please". After all, the cover portrays Mickey Mantle on a 1962 JELL-O unfolded box, a 1960 Post Cereal, and a 1954 Stahl-Meyer Franks. Regardless, we tried. ---Brian Powell |

Dale, thank you, my friend. I shall pass these ideas on to my resident tech help---son Sam. He's out with family at the moment. Reading between my lines, if you discerned I'm a full-blooded dinosaur, you perceived correctly. Again, can you say ?
So, I shall say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICK, with the words of the first three chapter titles and their respective subheads of my recently-released E-book on a CD, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. The first three chapters were all devoted to Mickey. Chapter 1 "There's Always Room For JELL-O", But Their Box Card Was A Decidedly Tight Fit (!962 JELL-O unfolded Apple flavor box with Mickey Mantle) Chapter 2 The Majestic Giant Sequoia Mantle (1960 Post Cereal) Chapter 3 A Mysterious and Mesmerizing Mantle Prize (1954 Stahl-Meyer Franks) The book of course is not all about Mr. Mantle, but the cover photo has each of the above three items, and makes for a most dramatic, and delectable array of Number 7. Gentlemen, PM me if you are interested in buying my book. A few of the other guys on here already have. All the best, Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 10-23-2016 at 03:23 PM. |
