Hey TED..
I actually was browsing last week on the 54 mantle--the red version, which is common I did run across the 'white' version on Ebay too, which I had never seen before, just like your 'blue' version. I did see a graded PSA red one..Why would someone grade one of these?

Ted,
Thanks for enlightening us on the history of your "1954 Sports Illustrated Topps" enhanced blue version. I was wracking my brain trying to recall the reprints that Larry Fritsch offered, but as I remember now, duh, they were straight reprints. I love yours with the blue background, but then I have always admired the George Silk portrait of Mickey taken during his rookie year and used by LIFE magazine in the spring 1951 when they ran a brief feature on Mickey's major league debut. Much as I love the 1994 Upper Deck All-Time Heroes "1954 Topps" version, the George Silk portrait is such a gem, being still appropriate in the time frame for a 1954 Topps. After all, that's the shot SI chose for its 1954 spread of the Yanks!  I for one would love to own a specimen of your printing buddy Charlie's craftsmanship.

Hi Brian I haven't had any contact with Charlie since the Fort Washington (PA) Shows in 2001. I cannot promise you anything, but I will try to contact collectors (dealers) in Pennsylvania that may still have (or know how I can get) this Mantle card.   TED Z .

Continuing in the trend of the last 10 posts here with Mantle reprints, here is one more......
 .  This card was an insert in Bob Lemke's semi-annual "Baseball Cards" magazine (issue Oct 1984). TED Z .

[QUOTE=tedzan;1559964]Hi Brian
I haven't had any contact with Charlie since the Fort Washington (PA) Shows in 2001. I cannot promise you anything, but I will try to contact collectors (dealers) in Pennsylvania that may still have (or know how I can get) this Mantle card. Thanks, Ted. I'm deeply touched. I fully understand you cannot promise anything. Besides, hard as it may seem for us sometimes, that was a long time ago. The card reminds me how powerful a little color can go towards making a remarkable one. Just as it did for the '49 Bowmans, and with more color, for the 1961-62 Fleer basketball. Thank you again, bro. Best regards, Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 07-02-2017 at 10:24 PM.
