Ben -- Thanks, pal, for coming to my rescue with a nice photo of Bob's 1963 JELL-O Mickey Mantle creation.

As you should, MikeGarcia. The 1960 Post Cereal Mickey Mantle is a choice, elegant, and breathtaking Mickey Mantle masterpiece. Obviously, it's one of my own favorites, as I placed it dead center on the cover of my newly-released book, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

Congrats on having that Mantle--what a prime conversation piece! ---Brian Powell

Does anyone know of a Mantle Matchbook variation that is green? I have only seen the common one's and this yellow variation, but I heard there is a green one as well.
