Ted, thanks for sharing this. I was unaware of the blue background variety. Methinks this blue variety looks much, much more significant than the "so what" white letter version. Besides, us kid collectors were all feeling blue that this would be Mickey's last regular issue baseball card. That is, until we went to our first adult baseball card convention and discovered Topps had been busy printing Mick with some other of its sets (1969 Topps Super baseball). Anyways, thanks again. Whoa Nellie--so much more significant! ---Brian Powell

Chris, please forgive me, as I wanted to salute you on your fine specimen of the 1960 Home Run Derby Mickey Mantle, one of the hardest Mantle cards to find. When I ponder the memory of how you got that gorgeous beauty, and in the hardest way possible----buying what was virtually a complete set JUST to get your hands on that lovely "impossible dream" Mantle piece--I smile broadly in pride for you. I've said it before, but way to go, collecting bro!

---your pal, Brian Powell

I acquired this Blue Mantle at an Antique shop for $15.....circa 1987.

I've looked for another Blue one ever since then. Have not seen one.

But, a friend of mine in the California said he had (or seen) one years ago.

I guess we can chalk it up to a really rare printing error.
