question about authenticity of 1956 Action Pictures Mickey Mantle

I purchased the photo on eBay a couple of weeks ago from "nodoubtgrrl." The listing said it was "Photo of New York Yankees Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris & Mantle photo." The listing said that the photos were from a relative's estate who was an avid memorabilia collector. The seller did have many sports memorabilia items, including older items.

I realized after getting the photos that there were two other like photos in eBay completed listings (one for $5.00 and one for $8.25) that were advertised as reproductions. Thus, I became concerned about my purchase.

Mike, I appreciate your input and any other thoughts you or others may have.

Looks legit to me…just a larger border.

Sorry, I wasn't clear when I asked about the source. I was wondering about the original source. Was it from a Yankee photo set from a different year? Was it a mailout from the Yankees? Was it a premium; and if so, where?
