There is a 1954 Topps Mantle that was printed in the insert in the
second issue of Sports Illustrated, Aug 23, 1954. This insert was
was produced by Topps specifically for the magazine and includes
a sheet of 27 NY Yankees. Fifteen are the identical ones that were
in the '54 Topps set and 12 who were not (in B/W).

And, an enterprising collector from the greater Philadelphia area
reprinted this Mantle in card form back in the early '80s. When I
find my copy of it I will post it.
