Help Identifying Mickey Mantle Card..Hand Cut?

[begsu1013]

looks to be as what the 56 bowmans were supposed to look like.

may just be a hand made card.

it's cool though!

edit: how many years was it until he played 658 games, 2411 at bats, etc.

Pretty sure this was a card that was cut out of a 1990's baseball card magazine price guide

Google images struck out.

Looks like a 1958 hires root beer . I don't know if Manlte was in that set . I remember looking for a Mays . I don't know if that's real . The bottom should have a cut edge . I hope it's real !

It's not real, it's a fantasy card of some sort.

Centering is not good enough.

1958 Hires Root Beer. Only problem is Mantle isn't in the set. Like someone else stated I think it is a magazine cut from one of those "Cards that never were" sets.

Caveat: The set started with card number 10. Cards 1-9 were test issues. Take that for what you want. Considering Mantle isn't on the checklist, the back is completely wrong, and the lack of tabs I'm 99.9% sure it is a modern fantasy piece.

I'm in agreement with this. In fact if I dig deep enough I think I have one.

kinda proud of myself:

1958 Hire's Root Beer Baseball Cards a Tasty Challenge

"That gives the card a knothole-like feel to it. That design looks strikingly similar to one of the prototypes Bowman was considering for its 1956 release ..."
