Hey Leon, it sounds like you 1960 Topps Tattoo is the Mantle autoball:

These really vary substantially as far as what is still left of them. Sometimes you find full packs, sometimes you find the wrap fully intact but no gum, and sometimes you find them trimmed like yours is. If the picture is clean, it still holds a bit of value even though there is not as much left of it as the example I posted (stolen from ebay). I have one or two tattoos in my collection that were cut down from the original wrapper.
