Wasn't "Rabbit" Maranville first name Walter

That is correct. Everyone called him Rabbit though, and as you can see on these matchbook, it was sometimes spelled with two Ts, as in Rabbitt.

I have always thought about collecting vintage PCL cards of California teams. During the last long Baseball strike I was reading about and researching The old Pacific Coast League.

Was assuming Mantle and was going to say "not necessarily, when Mantle is involved, but it arrived already.

Couple vintage SI's that I recently got back. Ryan I sent through his foundation. Dawson/Stieb I had Dawson for a while, and just got it back from a Stieb private signing.

This is a little different kind of way to have a photo taken back in Barry's day . It was at auction on the Net54 vintage sports card forum. Where I've even managed to get lucky buying vintage sports cards. It's called a Tin Type or a Melainotype even or a ferrotype photo from the 1880's. It's printed on thin metal strips. You can read about the process here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintype I doubt the people are anyone famous.

Mickey Mantle 1960 Armour coin....had other colors, but not red....until now!

 

[swish54_99]

How many colors are there?

 

[finestkind]

I think there are about 16 different colors on the Mantle coin alone. According to Sports Collectors Digest.
