I saw a Ruth on eBay a few months ago and received confirmation from a hobby buddy that the Mantle exists. I have yet to see a picture of the Mantle and am still, occasionally, working on trying to acquire that one (offered an insane amount of money for it).

There was a Mantle on ebay the other day, too.
Here is a picture of it.

There were two Mantles made. The one you pictured is the more common version (not the winner) and features Mantle in action. There is another panel out there that features a portrait of Mantle. That was the winner card for this particular issue. My understanding is that you had to match up both panels to claim the prize.

Here is a link to one of the Babe Ruth winning cards, which is currently for sale on eBay (not my auction):

I wish I had the funds for those Mantles when they came up. The prices they brought were insane.

There are two Swobodas: the one I want to see has $5 at the top. The other one I see all the time

Thanks Adam.
Not following you entirely though - I probably don't know enough about this set though. Are you saying that the left side is the prize side? And that there is no Mays? Or that you haven't seen a left side. It's weird that there are so many "left side" Mantle's (54) and very few Mays (3) graded by PSA. Wonder why that is?
