Al, I like that 64-Stand-Ups display. Very cool piece.

Dave and Marty, thanks for the information. Very helpful.

I noticed that the Howser is framed in a similar way to the 1953 Topps Calderone that sold a couple of days before. It may have been owned by the same collector. I'm more familiar with the mini-paintings that form the basis for the card.

Also I found an old REA auction of the 1961 "Mantle Blasts" card, which has a detailed description. From what I've learned, this Howser could be called the "original artwork" for the card. Thanks, Rob
