Vintage, original, first generation 1956 period Gallo photo - Mick's favorite - with original Raymond Gallo Photographer stamp (no zip code). They don't get much better than this!!!
This 11X14 beauty hung in Mickey's office during the first few years of his Holiday Inn. Last edited by Frozen in Time; 03-17-2014 at 04:20 PM. |

Craig,
I've always loved that shot, and for the life of me, can't remember ever seeing anything even remotely resembling an original. Now, the eyes have it! More! More! More!!! Graig

I was lucky to get the total package: Glove with original tag and string attached, copy of magazine ad and the plastic packaging.
See photo below. |

And what a package it is - just beautiful!!! Congratulation on a terrific acquisition. I've always loved that ad. I wonder if there is a cardboard version of the ad?

Thanks. I thought you would enjoy seeing the total package. As far as a cardboard version of the ad - I have never seen one. Since it is for Armour Franks, I would think a grocery store / super market would have been the place that a cardboard advertising sign would have been used. Probably would have been a difficult placement in the deli section. But then again - items do show. Your Mantle photo is outstanding - how did you get that one? Jerry |

I too have never seen that image in a TYPE 1. Truly remarkable. Wish I had it. And as if that alone wasn't enough, your example is oversized and belonged to the Mick his own self! A Triple-Crown winning Mantle photo that would be a cornerstone in any Baseball Photography Collection.

Thanks Jimmy. There is just something about this image that perfectly captures all the qualities that I loved about Mickey.

Type I - 1952 Spring Training. To me Mickey's expression seems both majestic and pensive at the same time - perhaps conveying the conflicting sense of confidence and self-doubt that he still felt going into his sophomore year.
