Mickey Mantle “Live Like a Champion” Brochure Cover
Description
A color slide of a National Sports Council (NSC) brochure cover featuring a black-and-white photograph of Mickey Mantle, showing him from the knees up. In the Mantle image, which is superimposed onto a background with text, Mantle is standing, wearing an NSC t-shirt, and smiling at the camera while making a thumbs-up gesture. The brochure's heading reads, "LIVE LIKE A CHAMPION . . . make us proud of you!" Beneath the heading, on the left, is a facsimile of Mantle's autograph. Below that, there is a text box with the following bullet points:
• Be on the lookout for your progress chart . . . within two weeks you'll be hearing from us.
• Some routines come easy . . . others are a little harder. Just keep at it and you'll be a true Champion.
• We're going to make you strong and sure of yourself. If you have any problems be sure to get in touch with us.
Beneath the bullet points is the NCS logo. Information written on the physical slide reads "endorsement"
