Here are the other Hi # cards which were in that pack with Mantle. The Mantle card was in the middle of this stack.
I can still remember the thrill when I shuffled these cards, and saw the Mantle (I was an avid Yankees fan in 1952).
Mantle's BA in 1952 was
.311 which is also his card number.....you gotta love this coincidence.
