Yeah, it's another 1954 Topps-style Mantle . . .

. . . but it's got a different backstory that I'll post on my blog (linked below) later this afternoon.

    Nice card Bob. Have you ever thought of taking on the challenge of creating a team card, say a 1969 Topps Miracle Mets team card?

    I've never considered doing a team card; not really my area of interest.

    Very cool creation once again.

    Question about the back cartoons (if you don't mind sharing).... did you borrow those cartoons from other cards within the set and then re-write the text or did you draw the cartoons from scratch? Either way, great stuff and thanks for sharing!

    Because I like to maintain the look of original 1954 Topps, I take cartoons from original cards in the set and rework them as necessary. On my Mantle, for instance, the cartoon at left is from Jim Pendleton's card, those in center and at right are from Preston Ward.
