Default 52 Topps mantle or 33 goudey gehrig

Great looking cards of Mantle and Gehrig.....the #92 and #160 cards of Gehrig are identical poses; however, every #160 card
I have had (or seen) looks "faded" with respect to the Blue background and Red strip at the bottom.

Someone posted earler that the 52T Mantle was a "triple print"......Not so, it was a Double Print (along with Jackie Robinson
and Bobby Thomson) on the 100-card, High # sheet. Your's is the Type II Mantle....mine is the Type I.....




Incidently, it's a tough decision for me, between Tina Louise and Dawn Wells. When I watched Gilligan's Island I preferred Tina....
But, when I met Dawn (signing at the Philly Show some years ago), I had a change of heart.
