Another super thread Jimmy with great stuff all around! Have a number of oddball Mantle items that will have to wait until I finally get a scanner (and digital camera) as well as the time to do it.
For the moment, how about a Type 1 (albiet poor quality secondary scan) of Mickey from his '55 tour of Japan to go with the Babe's from '34. Note the '55 tour patch on Mickey's sleeve as well as the name of the Japanese photographer embossed on the front.
Looks like the Mick may have missed the ball this time around. Wonder what would have happened from the right side if the Babe would have been pitching?
