Love seeing all of the Mantle pickups on this thread!
Picked up the blue back 52-55 Dormand Mick Bat on shoulder postcard. I knew SCD listed the blue & green variation of the 53 Dormand Mantle Bat on shoulder, but didn't realize the other differences until i had it in hand. Blue compared to green back: Front -Zoomed out image -Auto is larger -The color is unique on the blue compared to the green and giants - hard to tell unless under magnification Back -Blue color and smaller & different type font than others -Long dash after Mick's weight on blue not on others -Number at center bottom is different (anyone know what those numbers meant?) Picked up one of the HI coasters i didn't have to add to the others. A nice 55 Exhibits PC back "Mutoscope" recently arrived from PSA And just got back a bunch of the new Jumbo slabs.

So I started working on a Mickey Mantle "display piece" for my living room. (Hence the inclusion in this thread)
![]() Here are a few recent snags....... ![]() ![]() Nothing Earth-shattering, but I am mostly looking for decent eye-appeal cards in mid to low grades raw. I am saving my higher grade stuff for my PC to be tucked away. There won't be any "PSA 9s" in my display, but thats by design. More to come shortly.

Ben, great stuff. Congrats! Is there a variation with the Giant and mid size or just the regular size?

Been working for a while to try to find some centered Mantles from the 50’s and here is my collection to date. Hardest to find have been he 56 and 57, and the 58 is one of the best I have seen in any grade.

The only difference in my largest ones is the photo is a bit (1/4") higher on one.

The top one I got first. Then later on I picked up the second one in a group lot and noticed that the color was different from the first. I didn't bother looking any closer. The card on the bottom is the one I got last. I picked it up because of the writing on the back and post mark. I see now that I have three variations of the post card. In the top card, on the back bottom left is the same marking as on the larger post cards. It has a K in a diamond to the left of the publishing information. Same number in the center back as in the larger cards. The middle one does not have the K but has the same number in the back center. The bottom one does not have the K, has a different number, and as you noticed, is blue and not green. Based on the post mark date, it is probably earlier than the others.

The color photo of my "K" PC looks washed out compared to the other two. BTW I love the written note on the PC! Awesome. |

Nice, my green one with a “K” looks washed out as well, so probably how it was produced. Fortunately, I’m a hoarder and had two of the three. Now to find the green without the K...

Me too
especially with items I like. The K or no K green both seem to be fairly common after a quick eBay search.

I sorted my PSA set by completion percentage and I rise from 29th to 13th, with 19 more Mantles (15 new) in the queue in Newport Beach. So I'm very close to hitting 50% of the Master Set Registry, even with those new oversized cards being added.
