None of it is "expensive", but if you haven't seen either of these items before, then they might be of interest.





MICKEY MANTLE "His Final Inning" -
This is actually a fold out pamphlet, not a card. These were apparently printed in 1998 for the "American Tract Society", and they were reprinted again in 2012 for "Good News Tracts".
This is basically several pages long, and it gives a brief look over Mantle's career. After a few stats it briefly goes over the length of his career and finally ends with Mantle turning to God/becoming a Christian with the help of longtime friend Bobby Richardson.
It is worth a read, even if you aren't overly religious.
These are widely available too, and you can find them on Ebay around the clock for less than $10.

The gold colored card at the bottom of this picture is a die cut 1997 Scoreboard Mickey Mantle Collection.
The back of the card reads "For Promotional Use Only".
It lists his career '51-'68, and the date he was inducted into the HOF.

The final piece is the most interesting.
It is basically a die-cut oversized card, from the same 1997 Scoreboard GOLD Mickey Mantle.
Its celebrating the 30th anniversary of his 500th career home run.
Like most newer products, this is indeed NUMBERED......... 5784/7000, It can also be found on Ebay, and these go from $10 - $50.

Nothing Earth-shattering here, but I'd never seen a couple of these cards. Plus my Father snagged them for me gives them some sentimental value.
The Mantle "super collectors" might want to check out the "30th anniversary of his 500th home run" card.....if they haven't seen it already
It might not be of tremendous value, but it looks great~!
Years ago, I bought a Mantle card on ebay. I can't remember which one it was now as this was maybe 10 years ago. Wasn't a crazy high grade card or anything, but the seller included a nice hand written note thanking me for buying his card, and he included that "Final Inning" pamphlet. I still have it hanging up on the bulliten board at my desk. It was a nice gesture.

The same thing happened to me. Bought a card on ebay (I think it was one of his 1964 All-Star coins) and the seller included the pamphlet too. Probably the same seller. A nice extra.

Just got an Epson scanner, and it takes great pics of my slabs and screwdowns.

I haven't posted on this thread in a while. None of these are recent pickups, but I was at the bank and took a pic of a few of my favorite Mantles.

Default Dormand Jumbo Mantle Postcards
Haven`t posted in this thread for some time now but never get tired of checking out fellow 54`ers newest additions. For me, couple of 1953 Dormand Jumbo postcards. Really like the image and wow they are large (9 X 12) so condition can be a real challenge. Bye the way, Jesse outstanding my man. Keep them coming......

Very, VERY nice Mick eye candy Hugh and Jesse. Thanks for sharing your Mantle joy! They are a joy to behold. --Brian Powell

PS---With the patch signifying the 50th anniversary of the New York Yankees on his sleeve, that would date the photo on the regal Dormand to 1952, Mickey Mantle's break-out year!
