Good luck and shoot me a message if you have any questions along the way. With the exception of a few of the test issues, I have almost every card of his ever issued, so I am happy to help however I can.

agreed on a blue background on Mickey cards

This one came in yesterday ....

1959 Topps Mantle AS.jpg1959 Topps Mantle ASback.jpg

not a tough card to find, not high grade, and not an expensive Mick, but one that has been difficult to find centered. Love the backs on these All Stars!

Looks great with a 58 All Star (which is one of his most appealing cards imo)

Nice P/U, Neal! Same with your 53 Bowman Fox.

Both very nice cards!

I just picked up one of these Holiday Inn cards from another Mantle collector. Anyone in here know anything more about them i.e. year, rarity, etc? It is the size of a regular baseball card. Thanks.

The one you linked to is a Holiday Inn Premium Photo. They are larger than a normal card and I think are somewhere in the 5X7 range, but don't hold me to that. Per the link below, PSA identifies them as being released in 1958. I don't think they are particularly rare. And, at least when I was more actively collecting, they were not particularly valuable. When PSA started grading them (I think in 2015), they saw an uptick in price though.

Chris, you are right it wasn't the correct picture...the description seems to match though. The photo is the same as the Black & White and Premium photocard but this one is the "baseball card" size. The back w/corner of thumb for scale
