Why no Red Man Mantle's?
I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but I've wondered why Mickey Mantle never appeared in a Red Man set. He was certainly an All-Star through all the years of the release or so but he isn't present.
Why?

Mantle had an exclusive contract with Bowman for the 1954 and 1955 seasons. As far as the '52 and '53 seasons go, I don't know. Maybe one of our other forum members can shed some light on this.

Contracts
Not sure about Bowman, but the Topps contracts were never totally exclusive....for antitrust reasons. The Topps contracts were only exclusive as to the marketing of the player's likeness with gum or confections ( candy). Hence the Fleer cookie in 63 and the Leaf marble in 61. I think Bowman was likely also gum and candy. In the early days cards were the promotion to sell something else, like tobacco, and then gum/candy
