The official Mickey Mantle Pickup Thread. All Mick, all the time!

OK Mantle guys. Help me out here! Anyone ever seen the below?

The info I got on them is these statues were bagged, stapled onto a baseball like tag with a string that were sent to a cap company soliciting them to use them as a promo item for their baseball caps.

The cap company decided not to use them.

The company who made the statues obviously then offered them to Tastee Freez for them to use to promote attaching the statue to their ice cream bowl. See ad below.

I picked up Mantle, Musial both shown as well as Campy, Berra, Reese, Lemon and Antonelli

Curious if anyone else has any of these?

Sorry, don't know how to rotate the Mantle Musial photos

Would be my guess too. Or it could be a fantasy piece/creation using the Dairy Queen statutes. It's the first I've seen of the bags.

The cups are cool. Is there any writing on them?
