Help identify some Mantle premiums

JHS5120

Hi guys,

Title says it all. I recently won these, but am now struggling to ID them. They are both 5"x7", one came with a Yankees envelope (the left one), the right one is glossy, the left one is semi-glossy. I know the right one is similar to the Holiday Inn premium, but without the bottom ad. They are both blank-back.

Any help is always appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Both are ‘non specific’ Yankees team issues.

I have both - the one on the right is sometimes called the ‘Holiday Inn Proof’ but it was sent out to people who asked for Mickey’s autograph starting in 1957...

The one on the left served mostly the same purpose after that...

Interesting, thanks for the help! I'm assuming PSA doesn't grade these?

Not yet? I’d say they both need better documentation as neither is cataloged...

...but enough copiesexist that there’s a chance.

Looks like a couple have sold on ebay. This one is stamped 1966..

Just saw this...agree with what has already been mentioned. PSA does not grade.
