Any idea what this Mantle is?
It’s a blank back mantle. No idea where it’s from.

I don't have a definitive answer, but it looks as if it was cut off a periodical while Mickey was playing, involving along the lines of Sports Stars of ... , Baseball Stars of ... , Smith's Baseball Guide, etc.
Being blank-backed, many of those yearly, monthly, All-Star Game, or World Series themed mags would have a thick paper or thin cardboard cover. Long ago, somebody liked the picture of Mickey enough to cut out their own card to satisfy a desire for another Mantle "card". I honestly cannot imagine it would have much value, but it's certainly a nice mid-career image of The Commerce Comet. Enjoy it as a souvenir. --- Brian Powell |

I did some research as well came up null and void. I hope you find your answer. Very nice.

If it's cardboard I would guess it's cut off of packaging from a Mantle endorsed product.

I have one of these too and absolutely love it. Cut off a Transogram box as others have said but such a cool piece.
