Mickey Mantle hopes you enjoy selling junk to get junk!

Hot on the heels of Yogi Berra hawking bikes comes Yankee teammate and fellow legend (and occasional comic book star) Mickey Mantle promoting your typical comic book greeting-card-selling scheme. Some junk for your indentured servitude — it’s a grand slam!

Glad to see they included a baseball mitt amongst the assorted wares that were the carrots on the stick for the card-selling youth of America. But was there any kid that wanted the calendar watch as a reward for their labors?
