Wow...great pickup Mike! Would love to see a pic with that guy up on your wall with the other spectacular framed pieces! I would almost be too scared to hang it thinking it might fall

Gonna be a bummer for your cleaning lady, though, as she'll be tasked with flipping that display over on your wall each week to change the orientation from Mantle being right side up to Maris being right side up and back again.

I would too. Unfortunately, I'm out of wall space for it. I'm not sure where it's going to go.

A couple of new additions to the family.

Mantle rare magnet base Hartland Statue
I am an advanced Hartland statues collector. Not many people know that early in the production of the statues there was a very rare subset of magnetic statues issued. Only 11 of 18 were issued with magnets attached to the bottom of the players feet.
Of course Mickey was one. I just picked up a duplicate which is only the fourth one I have ever seen in all my 60 years of collecting Hartland's. In the late 50's when these first came out car dashboards were metal. Hartland issued these to be used that way. But in case you didn't want them on your dashboard they also included a metal base with a hole drilled in it so you could mount the base with a screw to other surfaces. From time to time you may find statues with magnets on the bottom but without the base. The bases are actually rarer than the statues. Much like the Berra Hartland, you will see tons of them but seldom does it still have the original mask that was issued with Yogi. Too easy to lose over the years. The same with the magnet base. Hartland also issued a smaller statue known as the Minor Leaguer on a card. See attached where you can see the mention of mounting them on the dashboard of your car. Thought you all would enjoy seeing and knowing about this rare Mantle piece. I also picked up a Musial and Ruth with magnets and bases and a Fox without the base. Sorry photos are so large and turned sideways. Hopefully someone can fix it for this old man who is not computer literate!

Magnetic base for Hartland
I had heard of these, but had never seen one. Thanks for posting. I have been fascinated with the Hartland issues ever since my parents purchased my first Hartland (Stan Musial) for me in the early '60's.

Nellie Fox was my first one. My parents went to Atlantic City for the weekend. Left me at my grandparents house. Fox was the gift they brought back to this nine year old. Been collecting them and all things Hartland's, like contracts, ads, molds, variations, prototypes, etc. ever since

I know someone who had a 9K Max bid. So your guy topped it and the bid automatically went to 10K

That's a fantastic item! Too bad it was in an auction I hadn't heard about. Or, maybe it's a good thing I didn't know about it.

That's a beauty Mike. ^^^^^
These aren't necessarily new pickups (some are), but I gathered some cards the last year or so and finally sent them in to SGC. A number of these I picked up raw, here on the board. Excuse the lighting glare seen in a couple of these pics. The W.S. Batting Foes is very clean/no snow, unusual for that card. I picked up the '55 Bowman Mantle, in early 2020. It does have some wrinkles and gum stain on the back, plus the usual "chipping" thats everywhere on the '55s. I believe I paid around $150 for it, figuring it would be hit with the "authentic" designation, but I was surprised when it came back a 1.5. The '68 is obviously trimmed. It is such a brutal trim job, I can only imagine some kid took scissors to it. It adds to the charm, and I think I picked it up for like $50, so the price was right.

Huge mantle rarity
I recently acquired this 1 of 2 known 1960 Bazooka complete box with Mantle. It is by far the nicer of the 2. This box appears to never have had gum in it!! It is available, inquiry by PM is invited.

Dexter Press
Thought I would share another Mantle variation...albeit a minor one!
The item is listed by Kelly E. and graded by PSA as a c1960's Dexter Press Southwestern Historical Wax Museum Postcard. Kelly notes in an SCD article that it is designated as an 809-C, but there are also 99704-B designations. If you look at the Dexter Press dating by year, the 809-C is from 1965 and the 99704-B is from 1964. Small variation I know, but for Mike and Chris I am guessing you want both! lol The dating holds true for the Dexter Press items I have in my PC too. Curious about what others may have too. Notice the 66/67 Mick's have 22295-C which corresponds to 1967. The interesting one though is the postcard with Mantle wrapping his knee. This is not mine, but look at the number - 36419. That number is shown as being from 1951. I have only ever seen one of these and maybe it was just a test issue that wasn't released. Who would want a pc of an injured Mick! I do think it is cool though, and would make it one of a few "card" examples of a 1951 rookie Mick. |

Correct. That’s what I posted. Matt B was asking for confirmation on Facebook and I gave it to him with the dating info.

I'll need to find my wax postcard to see what version it is. Then, I'll have to put the other on my Want List. I'll need to look for the Yankee Dexter sets to confirm what number they have. I do have a picture of the Dexter Press Yankee poster on my computer and it has the following number on the back: DT-25546-C. That would correspond to 1967. I've never seen the Mantle postcard with him wrapping his leg. Very neat item that will also go on my Want List.

1953 Topps Mantle Dvorak Painting Print
Several years ago, I acquired 1 of 50 prints of a painting by Gerry Dvorak depicting Mantle's 1953T card. It was authorized by the Mantle estate. Gerry had not created the original Mantle painting used in the set. He did paint 50 of the originals used to produce the set. There are several articles and interviews with Dvorak that appeared in hobby and newspaper articles. The print I own (No. 4 of 50) has original Mantle and Dvorak signatures. Below you will find the image and the handwritten Christmas card note from his friend, Kim. She also sent 10 of the hand-out 1953T prints used in Gerry's sports collecting and public appearances. I thought my hobby friends -- particularly Mantle and 1953T baseball card enthusiasts -- would enjoy seeing the image. -- Dan

Recent Type I pick up. PSA in its infinite wisdom lists it as a 1950s photo, but it is probably really a 1960s photo. It first shows up in the 1963 Sports Service photo set.

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. Mantle Photo Yankees issue maybe 1954 8-by-10 reduced.jpg 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. Mantle Photo Yankees Issue 8 by 10.jpg 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. Mantle Photo Yankees Issue maybe 1961 8-by-10 resized.jpg 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. Last edited by bswhiten; 06-09-2024 at 04:26 AM. |

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.
