What a difference in the times from then until now, looking at the people in the background with suits and ties on enjoying the game.

Is this the card where the pic is actually of him swinging and missing rather than hitting a HR?

Or am I thinking of a different card?

Not sure if he is swinging and missing, but he is wearing an away jersey when in fact the game was being played at home.


"#134 is the World Series action card of Mickey Mantle, which shows him wearing a road uniform when in fact the game was played at Yankee Stadium,"

Thanks for ruining the card for me Steve!

This card has a very special place in my heart as it was my very first "real" Mantle card. Yes, funny story how they used the wrong image on the card but to me that just adds to the charm. They show Bob Gibson pitching to Mantle in St. Louis instead of the actual shot against Barney Schultz which Mantle hit in The Bronx. Here is an actual photo of Mantle being congratulated while rounding the bases, you can clearly see he is in pinstripes.

ALSO the picture shows a SWING AND A MISS as the catcher is catching the low inside pitch.
