Mickey Mantle Question

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.

While there are two threads going (apologies, I got over excited), all the cards have been identified, mostly by this awesome board and it's members, so I wanted to share:

Top Left: 1951 Wheaties (Thanks RedsFan1941)
Top Right: 1958-1961 Jay Pub Photos Type 1 Portrait (a friend off site)
Bottom Left: 1967 Topps Pin Up (Thanks Rats60)
Bottom Right: 1968 Topps Posters (thanks, again, Rats60)

If possible, could someone give me an idea of their 'value'? I trust this board much more than any price guide...

You're very lucky on this. I was out bowling with my son and forgot to bid on this lot. As mentioned, the one on the top left is a '51 Wheaties and should fetch around $800-$1,200. Get that one graded by PSA or SGC before selling. The others are all $15-$40 cards. The 1968 Posters is actually a cut-out from the 1968 Posters box. Look it up on eBay under "sold" listings and you'll see a complete box that sold for about $100.

Congrats on the pick-up. I'm still pissed that I was temporarily detained during this auction end!!
