I know it's boring to say you like a Mantle card everyone has seen a million times, but like the Clemente, I like the background photo. It seems I saw the "real" photo on here once that the drawing was made from. That drawing makes it look like Mantle is 12 feet in the air. |

The Whitye Ford card is one of my favorites in the '56 Topps set. The Clemente and Mantle are right up there with it. |

lots of them, Harvey Haddix legging one out as pitcher, Roy Sievers going over the wall, Jim Rivera the fans clothes are cool, Jim Hegan looks to be givin someone the boot and Mayo Smith just looks nuts. I love the whole set! |

We seem to have a severe lack of scans going here. Let's catch up... |

I like the Mantle. It's a great card, but it also has an "artistic quirk" in the background behind Mickey's great catch ... |

I realize the artist placed the ball into his glove. But, did he really make the snag that day? |

looks like the artist simply repeated the crowd to add more background that was needed before the Mantle mugshot appears to the right...you notice in the original photo, the crowd shot ends before that repeat. |

I've looked at that card 100 times and had never noticed the crowd repeat. Good catch! You..not Mantle.. |

You know, the cards that depict a crowd in the background seem to generally represent fairly thin turnouts...lots of empty seats, and no cards seem to show a packed house. |

In those days, the Yankees drew around 20,000 a game. (Baseball Reference shows 19,352 per game for 77 games, but I don't think they are considering doubleheaders.) |

I think the non-action background shots of guys warming-up, throwing, etc. were taken before the actual game, so it makes sense that the stands were generally empty. |

that was baseball in thru the 1970s,low attendance,low salaries,no corporate sponsorship. being able to buy box seats the day of the game(at wrigley field!),double headers and ladies days. no jumbotron and no rock music between innings. baseball just baseball. |

I like the Clemente and the Aaron. I believe the Aaron background shows Willie Mays sliding into home plate. Does anyone have a scan? |
