They are both Manny Land Baseball photos. The photo with Mick in a batter's pose came with the Manny Land Yankee team set. The other is listed as a 1965 issue by KeyManCollectibles.

There's also another Manny Land Baseball Mantle photo. It's basically the same photo as the one identified as a 1965 issue by Manny Land. But it has a slightly different cropping and it is attached to a Maris photo. It is 11 by 17.

[Sorry about the large photos]

Hey Mike:

Thanks for the reply and link to Keyman.

Keyman says:

In 1965, Manny's issued additional pictures that measure 9x11. The larger pictures featured new players, and some like Mickey Mantle, with a different pose.


However my photo measures the "normal' 8x10 not the 9x11 they note the 1965 Mantle is.

Does yours measure 8x10 or 9x11?

And another PSA anomaly, one of many that do not make sense to me, why is the 1961 Manny's on the checklist for the Mantle master set and not the 1965 Mantle from Manny's??
