NOTES:
 
    This Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris Jig-saw puzzle is just another one of the many items that hit the market in 1962, playing off the popularity of the M&M boys magical season of 1961. The black & white photo puzzle pictures Mantle and Maris by the batting cage in Yankee Stadium and features facsimile autographs of the two Bronx Bombers.

 As the mail order advertisement pictured below reads "Loads of fun from start to finish is this big exclusive personalized 8 x 10 glossy photo jig-saw puzzle! Authentically autographed by Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. When assembled it is a beautiful picture that can be permanently framed for your collection. A must for every fan ! Get Yours today ! Send to: PAN AMERICAN PHOTO SW-11 .918 Boynton Avenue, Bronx 72, N.Y." The price for the puzzle was $1.00 postage paid 2 for $1.75. (I'll take two)

 Located in the Bronx, Pan American Photo was a Photocopy, Photo finishing service that opperated a mail order business. For $2.00 you could also buy 100 Glossy reproductions, gummed and perforated stamps, of any photo you send them. (advertised in a 1962 Popular Science magazine which also has an article on "How to use a Jigsaw")

 These Jig-Saw puzzles have surfaced in a handful of auctions over the past 10 years but none with the original box it came in. I have seen a box with a puzzle being offered for sale. A common box with no picture or printing, that you would expect to receive from a mail order business back in the day.
