It's Mantle. Here's the original photo -- can't remember who posted this in the past, but I saved it on my PC. Coincidentally, a question about this card came up on the PSA forum, which made me dig this photo up. Here's the original.... they did modify the card to put the ball in Mick's glove, I believe.

Someone else had posted the action photo used as the background on the 1956 Topps Clemente card. Take a look. Looks like he could dunk a basketball too!

Never mind Pete... I always found it hilarious how Chris Short's legs perfectly frame the picture of the dog in the "Alpo" ad on that card. To this day, when I think of Chris Short the first thing that comes to my mind is Alpo. (And I don't even have a dog!)

Theer were some cards in the 1956 set that used the same photo for two different players. I forget exactly which, but there's a photo of a first baseman lunging for a wide throw around a runner.

That same picture is apparently depicting both the firstbaseman and the runner.

That would be #91 Gail Harris and #171 Jim Wilson.

Yep. "The Great One" in his Rookie Campaign as he went up extremely high to take away certain extra bases from Brooklyn great PeeWee Resse in the summer of '55 at Ebbets Field. Still one of my favorite photos.

Default 1956 Mantle split image
By the way. If you look closely at the 1956 Mantle card you can see the dividing line where Topps spliced the picture to make it wide enough to fit the card. Look closely at the man on the left edge leaning in with the white shirt and black stripe across his chest. He is also leaning right behind the left ear on Mantle of the big picture. Don't have the card anymore but maybe someone could post an example so you can see it.
