Old Mantle poster
My father and I found this in my grandmother's attic while we were cleaning her home after she passed away. It was rolled up and in a storage tube. My father says he remembers getting it as a kid from a mail in coupon. He couldn't remember which one, though.
It's in fairly good shape, but there is a little staining on the top. I now have it under glass and hanging in my man room. It measures 30" x 44". Does anyone know anything about this? I've never seen anything like it and it is definitely one of my favorite pieces of my collection. Basically, I'm just curious about where it came from and if it's worth anything.

Around Mid Sixties
Aloha! I had a giant poster as a kid, somewhere around 63 or 64. Mine was of Al Kaline. Black and white very similar size. I sent a buck or two off with a coupon from somewhere for it. Also the zip code instead of a postal zone indicates post 63 or thereabouts. Nice poster. Dave.

Post 63 would seem to make sense. Thanks for the response!

I had one of those too! Got it around '66 but it could have been made prior to that.
At a Yankee game we picked it up at a souvenir stand adjacent to the stadium, perhaps it was Manny's Baseball Land or a similar store. A family friend mounted mine on a sheet of plywood and we had it in ou=r basement for years. Thanks for posting yours, it brings back memories of happier times.
