Several years ago, I acquired 1 of 50 prints of a painting by Gerry Dvorak depicting Mantle's 1953T card. It was authorized by the Mantle estate. Gerry had not created the original Mantle painting used in the set. He did paint 50 of the originals used to produce the set. There are several articles and interviews with Dvorak that appeared in hobby and newspaper articles. The print I own (No. 4 of 50) has original Mantle and Dvorak signatures. Below you will find the image and the handwritten Christmas card note from his friend, Kim. She also sent 10 of the hand-out 1953T prints used in Gerry's sports collecting and public appearances. I thought my hobby friends -- particularly Mantle and 1953T baseball card enthusiasts -- would enjoy seeing the image. -- Dan
