Whitey Hawking Post
I was not even four months old when this issue of LIFE magazine hit the newsstands. Always nice to see Mark Antony smoking. And Liz not wearing a wedding ring.

I didn't know about these Mantle and Maris cards with advertising backs until doing some searching for baseball related advertising images for a previous blog entry.
