@AustinMike: I also want to add the wherabouts possibly on the HA auction you provided- i could not find it in the archives, but found a auction dated 2012 here of it:

Photograph of Mickey Mantle taken at the 1952 World Series, showing Mantle in his batting stance. Tape on three corners with the number "120" on the bottom right corner, handling marks and a crease in the upper right corner. Verso has glue residue with notation "World Series 1952-Ebbet Field-10/6/52-negative #4 Mickey Mantle, Yankee outfielder" applied with tape. Stamped "Photo by Donald W. Wingfield of The Sporting News" and with pencil notations. Provenance: The Sporting News Collection and John Rogers Photo Archives.

Chris,

Many thanks for the links! I only searched Heritage Auctions and didn't think to do a general search. It's interesting that the second auction lists it as circa 1955 even though the Letter of Provenance lists it as circa 1950s. I guess the auction house was going with the middle of the decade. Thanks again!
