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

A three-for-one post. These make a nice grouping.

The auction house said this is from 1954. Could be I suppose. It was used for the Baseball Monthly premium.

This is definitely a team issued photo. It was used in a 1961 paperback book, "Big Time Baseball." Therefore, it can be no later than a 1961 photo. I'm not sure where else it might have been used.

This is used in the 1961 Sports Service Yankees photo set (a cropped version). Therefore, it can also be no later than a 1961 photo. I'm also not sure where else it might have been used.

Any guidance on any other place these photos were used would be greatly appreciated.

Mike,

Nice pickups as usual
The last photo was used on most of his 1963 tri-fold mailers (12/63 is a different pic).

I had a new one come today…the 54. Just need a 55 banged up copy now.

Hey Ben, thanks for the info on the tri-folds. Of course, the only '63 tri-fold I have is the December one.

Congrats on the '54 Stahl-Meyer. You're doing like I did. Got the '53 first, then the '54, and then the '55. You'll feel great once you have all three of them.
