I have this card, however on mine the picture is Don Mattingly and the hologram is actually the Mickey Mantle Then and Now card. Anyone seen this before? Value? Any help would be appreciated!

Any help would be appreciated!Well..... Mantle was the "Then" And Mattingly is the "Now".

I have never seen it, but it would be a pretty interesting error if it is one. It could've been a promo card, but not sure why they would've used the "Then" picture of Mattingly with the "Now" hologram of Mantle.

Definitely looks like an error...although I'm thinking it might be more accurate to call it a miscut. It looks to me like the bottom of the card is just barely starting to show what appears to be the top of the Mattingly"Now" picture. And if you look at other Mantle cards, seems like yours actually shows more of Mickey than others. Betting these were one after the other on the sheet and during the print run images somehow became misaligned which resulted in the "error." At least that's my theory!

As the error has to do with the printing of the foil and image over the base hologram card which was misaligned when printed. That being said, it is actually a pretty cool looking card. I am curious as to what the back says, is it a Mattingly back, a Mantle back, or something else.
