Eisenhauer says Mantle had printed up to pass out. Another item hardly seen. Probably more than 10. Other than the Mission Soda, I really couldn't argue with what Howard said.

For the promo, I believe, when I purchased mine, that Kelly had 5-6 of them. I think I got 3 of them (sold one to Chris and not sure who I sold the other duplicate to�you?). I think the other 2 went to another collector. Other than those 5-6, the only one I am aware of is the one PSA shows on their site with the 1951 signature. I still kick myself for not buying that as one of us should have gotten it.

The 68 Venezuelan has 23 graded by PSA, although that seems high. I�d bet there are less than 5 of the 59 cream back ones though-I�ve only seen two.

Wow, I am surprised is shows 23 graded '68 Venezuelans. I didn't realize there were that many floating around.

Of those - 14 are graded 2 or less and 25 is just not that many to go around between Venezuelan collectors and Mantle collectors - so you don't see them very often! Grateful to have one of the 4's for a long time now. Pretty sure I won it in a Mr Mint auction - a lot with 3 Venezuelans (64,67 and 68?) and a 66 and 67 O Pee Chee.
The 59 cream backs are crazy hard!

Chris, I got my Mantle promo cards from KE. I got 2 from him and I remember having a chance to select which 2. Looking back at emails, I apparently bought one from him, then bought another a year or so later. I can't find emails for the first one, but for the second one he sent a picture showing 5 of the promos with 2 of them marked as sold. I bought 1 of the 3 remaining ones.
