Thanks a lot for the info, Mike. You have some great photos! I really love the premiums you posted. If you have any duplicates, you know where to find me....

One question: I assume from what you said that your "action photos" from 1956 and 1960 are matte, not glossy? My photo is definitely on the glossy side. I believe it is a photo from 1951--how can you not like a rookie-era photo? I got an itch for these Mantle photos/postcards/premiums a bit late, because you are right, they have really started to take off. I also picked up a couple of Dormand postcards--I especially like the bat on shoulder variation.

Thanks again, Brian
