Mantle, Ruth and Dimaggio premiums?

[trib01]

Since my 1951 Yankees post worked so well for me I figured I would try again. I bought a lot of premiums, picture pack single etc. These three were in the lot. They appear to be 50s paper, like the others. But I can't seem to find them after some research. Anyone recognize these? Thanks.

The Mantle-Maris isn't from the 50s'; Maris wasn't with the Yanks until '60. Trade was 12/11/59, so the earliest he'd have been in a uni with MM is spring training 1960.

My guess is yet another Manny's issue.

Very true on the Maris one. I guess I was thinking about the other two.

The image on the Mantle/Maris photo is the same one used on the McCarthy postcard of Mantle/Maris.

Whoever started calling photos "Manny's" photos did a disservice to collectors. I don't think Manny's had anything to do with the production of "Manny's" photos. They only sold them. They could have just as easily been called "Marshall's photos" or "Oreck's photos." Below is a two-page ad from a magazine for Marshall Oreck that includes 10-photo sets of the various teams. I would bet these are the same ones as sold by Manny's Baseball Land.

You'll also note that both sites sell All-Star Old Timer photos with both Ruth and DiMaggio included in the available list.

The more I research on items such as these the more I realize just how many different type of items are out there. I have come across premiums and supplements and photos like these that I haven't seen before in my 30 plus years of collecting. I think that the Manny's Baseball Land designation on these simply stems from not knowing anything else to assign them to at the time- although once figured out it seems next to impossible to change.
