I give up!

Please help me.

A fellow collector came for a visit yesterday and he started talking about one of his "Holy Grails" that was rumored to exist but maybe never actually seen. You guys know the story. Anyway, I remember a memorabilia thread that might be connected to what my buddy was talking about. I just scrolled through 25 pages of threads and couldn't find it. I don't remember the pertinent words to do a decent search.

The thread I'm looking for had to do with a 1960's mail in offer where you could send in your picture and you would get back a picture (8"x10"?) of your favorite ballplayer gazing at a picture of you on the wall. Can anybody provide a Link? Thanks in advance!

Rob its a 1963 Picture Pal, here's a Mantle ad in conjunction of Mayfair Markets

Here's an ad w/ Yogi for Acme Markets
Picture Pal probably had more promotions w/ supermarkets, But I couldn't find anything else

[Jay Wolt]

Each player initially rec'd $200 to be included in the promotion & up to $500 total if the demand was there

Here's Hank Aaron's endorsement check

Jim Bunning's contract

Awesome, Jay! Thank you!

The Berra looks more like what I remember in the old thread I want to find. That said, I’m not sure there wasn’t a different pose and/or different promotion. I’d like to find that old thread..
