Anyone know what these Topps? tattoos are?

These are the Tattoos/Tatoos from 60 and 64. The one on far right are ones that came in the pack in the scan

If you are speaking about the little green pack in the upper right, that says Tattoos on it, unfortunately is is all there is,....just that cut with Mickey Mantle written on the back but not picture. I have seen the full packs but that is just the front cut, unfortunately. And I think this set of cards is a Cardinals Team issue from 1971?, along with another transfer and a Giant...

Hey Leon, it sounds like you 1960 Topps Tattoo is the Mantle autoball:

These really vary substantially as far as what is still left of them. Sometimes you find full packs, sometimes you find the wrap fully intact but no gum, and sometimes you find them trimmed like yours is. If the picture is clean, it still holds a bit of value even though there is not as much left of it as the example I posted (stolen from ebay). I have one or two tattoos in my collection that were cut down from the original wrapper.

Actually, here is the Red Schoendienst card. It looks like a 1971 Cardinals Team Issue like you had suspected.

This site will tell you what year the Cardinal PCs are from.
There is a search function by player/manager/coach last name.
Several players have multiple versions in the same year.

Thanks Jeff...I think I just described them as 1970s.....that pretty much covers it I think.....I have to tell ya, I spend 10x the amount of time listing this post war, raw stuff as I do the graded cards in my era of collecting...LL
