1951 Wheaties Mantle
Chris:
Nice pick up. However, this set always bothered me. The SCD Standard Catalog says it is " reliably attributed to General Mills, POSSIBLY intended to use as a Wheaties premium" My problem is this, why would anyone put out a Mantle item in 1951? He was a rookie who only appeared in 96 games and hit .267. Maybe the year is off and it was issued later I know others here on the board would have the original Tyoe 1 photo and be able to date it. Is the photo from 1951 or later? Just because the same photos were used in Wheaties other issues, does not mean much as these were for the most part team issued photos that can been seen elsewhere as well. Also seems strange that these did not turn up in the hobby until much later than 1951. Any other ideas if this is really what everyone thinks it is? Fred

Thanks Jeff. I read somewhere that the source of that information was a General Mills executive. There are some strange things about the set though, I'll give you that. Looking through the population report, I get the impression someone had a stack of these somewhere that just surfaced fairly recently. 35 have been graded and 30 of those are roughly in the same condition.
Mine definitely looks like it has had 60+ years of wear though.

Pie Traynor KQV Radio card/photo
Don't know if this should be here or in the Memorabilia section. May try to post in both.
Anyone ever seen this? NEAT! BTW, I contacted Bob Lemke and he said: "No, that's one I have not encountered. I certainly would have added it to the catalog "back in the day." Last edited by whiteymet; 06-27-2013 at 12:30 PM.
