Mickey Mantle Question

Timbegs · #1 04-05-2017, 07:41 PM

I recently acquired the Mickey Mantle 'cards' below in an auction where the lot was not well described so I don't want to get my hopes up but they all look pretty good, though off the run for me. Can anyone help me better identify the cards and perhaps their values? The top two cards actually measure 5x7 and were said to be from 'picture packs' from the 50s or 60s. Any help is appreciated...

The bottom two are part of the lid of a display box for 1968 Topps Posters and a 1967 Topps Pin Up that were inserts in packs of 1967 Topps cards.

Thanks! I thought the bottom right was a Bazooka display. I did actually recognize the Pin Up Poster but didn't know the year. I tend to stay in Topps Bowman standard issue Mickey's but he looked so young in the top cards, especially top left. Like a baby! Cool photos, anyway...

Oh man! I meant to be in post War Chat, not BST. Whoops! Can a moderator help/move me?

Those top 2 look like they ARE indeed from the 50s/60s team picture packs that were souvenirs you could get at the games. eBay has a few listed.

Here's another reference:

You struck gold with the one in the upper left. 1951 Wheaties. Four-figure card.

Congrats on your win. All the cards look to be in great condition.

Enjoy.
