I know it's not a card, but still kind of cool especially if it's actually from Yankee Stadium and not a reprint.

My impression has always been that these were sold in the stadium. There seem to be a ton out there of this and other designs, so it’s possible they are either a fantasy piece (hard to believe as they are typically worth less tha. $10.00) or were produced over a long period of time so as to saturate the market. I don’t think any of mine are used/postmarked so I haven’t been able to confirm the date on them.

Nothing much - just 'restocking':

Hi Guys:

Awhile back I obtained the below 1962 Post Cereal Supermarket display pieces showing the Mick!

First is a double sided 2' x 3' display banner with Mick on one side and Maris on the other. These were designed to hang over a wire above the display. This would look SUPER framed! It is available for sale or trade in the right deal. PM me if interested. The photo attached is much smaller compared to the others, but in reality it is much bigger

Second are a few photos of a whirl around display that had oversized cards including Mantle. The fold in the Mantle card is on purpose so the piece can be curved in order to create the whirl around display as shown in the lower photos, and also for shipping purposes.

Finally I have posted two photos of what the supermarket displays could look like featuring both the banner and the twirl around display.
