There was a Mantle on ebay the other day, too.
Here is a picture of it.

There were two Mantles made. The one you pictured is the more common version (not the winner) and features Mantle in action. There is another panel out there that features a portrait of Mantle. That was the winner card for this particular issue. My understanding is that you had to match up both panels to claim the prize.

Here is a link to one of the Babe Ruth winning cards, which is currently for sale on eBay (not my auction):

I wish I had the funds for those Mantles when they came up. The prices they brought were insane.

Yes they were

I am just glad i finally saw a 1953 B&W Yamakatsu Mickey Mantle card up in auction.
I had to tell Bestdj77 about it to share the find and let him take a stab at it, which he had done already. I was more enjoyed seeing it perhaps finding a home with CHris, but he failed to obtain it. But in the end, atleast i got to see one of those. i was holy cow, this could go under the radar, but it did not. B&L auctions
