Mantle/Mays magazine clipping...

[GKreindler]

Hey all,

Hope everyone's having a great holiday and gearing up for a safe New Years.

I was wondering if any of you have ever seen this magazine clipping before:



It's from an eBay auction, and the seller has no idea where it came from. Since I would love to get my hands on the image of Mantle for a painting, I don't necessarily want to spend a couple of hundred dollars for darn thing. I don't think it's from Sports Illustrated, and the color ink (from what I can make out) seems more akin to Sport Magazine or something like Colliers. Anyone have any thoughts? If it does any good to know, the image is most likely from '56.

Thanks!

Before I finished reading what you wrote I was saying that it looks like Sport Magazine... but it's just a guess.

I was thinking the same thing...sure looks like Sport Magazine. I guess we have to assume that those photos are from the 1962 world series so maybe Oct 62 through the beginning of baseball season 63 as a starting point.

Graig,
Thank you.
I have been on this board for about six months and have shown my stuff, did some business, and stared with awe and amazement at other people collections. Now, Finally! I get to add something that I know to the general welfare of the board.

As you can see on my photobucket site, I have a very extensive run of Sport magazines. The rest of the run, including 1946 to around 1980, is not scanned as of yet. This picture is from the Dec 1957 edition of Sport Magazine, page 18.

I will scan it and send you a high res tiff when I get home later.

Man, I love you guys. Seriously. I can't find a group of people who would be more willing or eager to help out a fool like me.

Mark, a high res scan would be INCREDIBLE. I'll have to pay you back somehow, so keep that in mind. Have you (or any other Sport Magazine fans) ever seen shots of Mantle or other stars like this? I mean, I LOVE these shots from behind home plate - they make for AMAZING paintings.

Thanks again everyone...

Mark--

Just took a look at your site display of SPORT mags--Very well done!
Do you have EVERY issue from 1946 to 1980?

Back when I was a kid I got a subscription to SPORT magazine, starting in 1951, and I still have today every original issue I received from 1951 until the 3rd month of 1958!

I'm sure you know there was NO issue done for Jan 1952?
